SEOUL: South Korean opposition lawmakers called on Thursday for extra security after an MP was hit in the face with an egg outside a court, with police bracing for unrest ahead of an expected ruling on the fate of the country´s impeached president.
President Yoon Suk Yeol was suspended by lawmakers over his disastrous December 3 declaration of martial law, and the court last month held weeks of tense impeachment hearings to decide whether to formally strip him of office. Despite experts predicting a verdict by mid-March, the Constitutional Court has yet to issue its final ruling -- making Yoon´s case the longest deliberation in its history.
