The court partly allowed live coverage of former President Yoon Suk-yeol's trial on charges of being the "leader of insurrection." Proceedings from the start of the hearing until before witness examination will be broadcast using a court camera. Earlier, when the special counsel for insurrection indicted former President Yoon on charges including obstruction of the performance of special official duties, the court also allowed coverage of the first hearing held last month.
On the 1st, the Seoul Central District Court Criminal Agreement Division 25 (Presiding Judge Ji Gui-yeon) said it allowed courtroom coverage under Article 11 of the Act on the Appointment of a Special Prosecutor for Fact-Finding on Acts of Insurrection and Treason by Former President Yoon Suk-yeol and Others.
The court said, "At former President Yoon's trial tomorrow (the 2nd), the bench plans to deliver its reasons for allowing coverage under Article 11 of the Special Counsel Act on insurrection."
Footage recorded by the court is expected to be released later via the internet and other channels. The court said, "As with video records of arguments at the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court, de-identification measures will be applied to personal information."
