After martial law was declared, the South Korean opposition attempted to enter the parliament building.
Deputies intend to vote for the impeachment of the current head of state. Appeals to the population include calls to organize protests.
Protesters who disagree with the introduction of martial law in South Korea are gathering at the entrance to the parliament building blocked by police, local television channel YTN reports.
We are talking about several hundred demonstrators and citizens who continue to gather at the government complex.
The entrance is currently guarded by police and no clashes with law enforcement have been reported.
It is also specified that opposition deputies are trying to enter the parliament building to vote to remove President Yun Seok-yul from power.
In particular, the head of the Democratic Party of South Korea stated that the decision to introduce martial law contradicts the constitution of the republic.
Let us recall that earlier a ban was introduced in the republic on the activities of the National Assembly, political parties and associations.
Rallies are prohibited and all media outlets are under military control.
Earlier it was reported that the South Korean president declared martial law in the country after the impeachment procedure began, but explained his decision by the threat from the DPRK.
