Special counsel seeks 25-year prison term for ex-justice minister over martial law role

A Special Counsel Team On Tuesday Sought A 25-year Prison Term For Former Justice Minister Park Sung-jae In His Appellate Trial Over His Alleged Role In Former President Yoon Suk Yeol's Failed 2024 Martial Law Bid. Special Counsel Cho Eun-suk's Team Made The Request At The Seoul High Court, After A Lower Court Sentenced Park To 25 Years In Prison In June On Multiple Charges, Including Playing A Key Role In An Insurrection, Which Exceeded The Team's Initial Recommendation Of 20 Years. Park Is Accused Of Convening A Meeting Of Senior Ministry Officials Following Yoon's Declaration Of Martial Law On Dec. 3, 2024, To Review Follow-up Measures, Such As Dispatching Prosecutors To A Martial Law Body. "Instead Of Siding With The People And The Rule Of Law, He Sided With Insurrection Forces And Aided A Self-coup By Becoming The Hands And Feet Of Yoon Suk Yeol," Cho's Team Said.
