A South Korean court cancelled on Friday impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest warrant, paving the way for his release from jail after he was arrested in mid January on insurrection charges over his brief imposition of martial law, Yonhap News Agency reported.
A Seoul Central District Court spokesperson could not immediately be reached for comment.
Yoon will not be immediately released from jail because prosecutors can file an appeal after a court cancelled his arrest warrant, Seok Dong-Hyeon, Yoon's lawyer, added.
