SEOUL (Reuters) – A South Korean court has granted a request to issue an arrest warrant for jailed president Yoon Suk Yeol, the Seoul District Court said on Sunday.

The permit extends the time he can be held in custody as authorities investigate him on suspicion of sedition related to his short-lived declaration of martial law in Dec. 3 last year.
