A court has issued an arrest warrant for South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol.

The order was issued on Tuesday (December 31). Reuters reports

Investigative officials said he was impeached and removed from office on December 3 for imposing martial law.

The Seoul Western District Court issued the arrest warrant, the Chief Corruption Investigation Officer (CIO) said. The court had authorized Yoon's arrest for further investigation.

This is the first arrest warrant for a sitting South Korean president, according to local media reports. The CIO did not comment on the court's arrest warrant. The court also declined to comment on the matter.

It is also unclear how the arrest warrant against President Yoon will be enforced. South Korea's presidential security service said in a statement on Tuesday that the arrest warrant will be implemented in accordance with due process.

The CIO said the court also gave permission to search President Yoon's residence. Although police had previously failed to search his residence, especially the president's security service, it did not help.

Yoon Suk-yeol could face a criminal charge of sedition.

Meanwhile, Han Dak-su, the acting leader of South Korea's ruling People Power Party, told Yonhap News Agency on Tuesday that it would be wrong to detain a president in this way.

Former US President (39th) Jimmy Carter has died. A BBC report has confirmed the news of the death from a source close to the former president.

He breathed his last in Plains, Georgia on Sunday afternoon according to US time. He was 100 years old at the time of his death. Before his death, he was the longest-lived person to have held the office of US president so far. He had been under treatment for the past year due to serious illness.

He played a special role in establishing democracy and achieving human rights worldwide. In his early life, Carter was a peanut farmer. Later, he not only assumed the responsibility of the US head, but also won the Nobel Peace Prize. He was in power from 1977 to 1981. During this time, America made great progress economically and diplomatically though many people were disappointed with him when he left the White House. However, after winning the Nobel Prize, he regained the hearts of the countrymen.

He was born on October 1, 1924. President Carter reached the 100-point mark in October of this year.
