Court: Sending the military to the National Assembly and the National Election Commission is a rejection of democracy and broad-based infringement of constitutional rights.
Mun rejects Yoon's argument that he declared martial law as a warning to the public. Notes that Yoon also sent military to the National Assembly, thus going much further than a warning.
“Il suddito ideale del regime totalitario non è il nazista convinto o il comunista convinto, ma l’individuo per il quale la distinzione fra realtà e finzione, fra vero e falso non esiste più”.
BREAKING: Trump has just signed an EO to withdraw the US from the UN Human Rights Council
The U.S. has officially walked away from the world’s most significant human rights body.
This is the council that:
- Condemns dictatorships and oppressive regimes for their crimes against humanity
- Fights against human rights abuses across the globe
- Defends freedom of speech, press, and religion, standing up to regimes that silence journalists, persecute minorities, and crush political dissent.
- Investigates war crimes and human rights violations
- Advocates for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and protections for marginalized communities
The U.S. has forfeited its voice in one of the most critical global arenas for defending human rights.
This isn’t just a policy shift, it’s a devastating abdication of moral leadership on the world stage.
The victims included a five-year-old girl, a woman waiting for a bus, and a high school student on her way home from school… Four incidents in one year.
1/ North Korea's mounting casualties in Ukraine: what we learned from South Korea's spy agency briefing today, according to lawmakers who attended.
Revelations about captured soldiers, suicide orders, and the human cost of NK's support for Russia's war effort.
Yeo Hyeon Su, a master of traditional Korean flag art, is performing near Anguk Station while pro-democracy protesters are marching. His flag reads "The people are the sovereign."
여현수 선생님의 엄청난 퍼포먼스!!!
Our soldiers have captured North Korean military personnel in the Kursk region. Two soldiers, though wounded, survived and were transported to Kyiv, where they are now communicating with the Security Service of Ukraine.
This was not an easy task: Russian forces and other North Korean military personnel usually execute their wounded to erase any evidence of North Korea’s involvement in the war against Ukraine.
I am grateful to the soldiers of Tactical Group No. 84 of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as our paratroopers, who captured these two individuals.
As with all prisoners of war, these two North Korean soldiers are receiving the necessary medical assistance.
I have instructed the Security Service of Ukraine to grant journalists access to these prisoners. The world needs to know the truth about what is happening.
#Iran: Women Press Freedom welcomes the release of Italian journalist #CeciliaSala from detention after weeks in solitary confinement at Evin Prison.
Targeted by the Iranian regime despite holding a valid journalist visa, Sala’s ordeal highlights Iran's use of hostage diplomacy to silence dissent and intimidate the press.
Journalists must not be silenced or exploited as bargaining chips.
While we celebrate Sala’s overdue release, Iran remains the leading jailer of women journalists. Its suppression of dissent must end. Women Press Freedom calls on the global community to take a stand against Iran’s press freedom violations.

PD Notebook creates a terrifying video showcasing what could have been on the night of December 3 when Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law, had it not been thwarted.
An absolute tragedy.
All but two of the 181 people aboard the Jeju Air flight have perished in what is the deadliest aviation disaster on Korean soil.
My heart breaks for the victims and their families.
May they rest in peace.

Felice di condividere il mio nuovo commentary per @ispionline : "La resilienza della democrazia sudcoreana".
La legge marziale, ritirata dopo sei ore, ha scosso il Paese e riacceso il dibattito sulle fragilità della giovane democrazia asiatica.

Poetic justice that the tyrannical president who came to power by stoking toxic misogyny was taken down by protesters who are largely women in their 20s, singing a song by Girls' Generation.
JTBC News: The people saved democracy. If they weren’t at the National Assembly the night martial law was declared, it would have been over. If they didn’t come out with their light sticks to demand impeachment, it would have been over. They saved us
