SEOUL, May 7 (Yonhap) -- An appeals court on Thursday reduced former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo's sentence from 23 years to 15 years in prison over his role in former President Yoon Suk Yeol's brief imposition of martial law.
The Seoul High Court handed down the sentence after finding Han guilty of playing a key role in an insurrection by aiding and abetting Yoon's declaration of martial law in December 2024.
