Long live South Korea!” demonstrators chanted, describing a wave of relief after days of anger over the president’s surprise declaration of martial law.

Jubilant crowds celebrated in Seoul, South Korea after the National Assembly passed a motion 204-85 to impeach President Yoon Suk-yeol. Protests against Yoon had been intensifying since a short-lived declaration of martial law on 3 December.

After a first failed attempt, the South Korean National Assembly ended the president's term, guilty of having attempted a coup de force by declaring martial law on the night of December 3 to 4.
