The ruling Democratic Party introduced a bill on December 22 to establish a special tribunal for insurrection cases tied to former President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed martial law imposition. The measure aims to address perceived delays and unfairness in ongoing trials but faces criticism for potential unconstitutionality and undermining judicial independence. The opposition has vowed to launch a filibuster to block it.
