"Gwangju Emergency Action Group Protests in Front of Court Demanding Immediate Dismissal of Yoon Suk-yeol"

Call for Constitutional Court to Stop Delaying Impeachment Trial
"This Week Could Be the Final Test"

As the impeachment trial of President Yoon Suk-yeol approaches, civic groups in Gwangju are urging the Constitutional Court to make a swift decision to remove him from office.

On the 25th, the Gwangju Emergency Action for Immediate Resignation of the Yoon Suk-yeol Regime and Social Reform held a press conference in front of the Gwangju District Court and Prosecutors' Office in Dong-gu, stating, "The Constitutional Court must no longer turn a blind eye to its sacred duty entrusted by the people, and must immediately dismiss President Yoon Suk-yeol, who is responsible for the rebellion incident."

The group said, "It has been 100 days since the December 3 rebellion incident, yet the Constitutional Court has still not even set a date for the trial. Delaying justice is not justice. If the Constitutional Court betrays the trust of the people, it will face massive outrage." They continued, "More than 60% of citizens are concerned about President Yoon's return, and 77% are calling for an impeachment verdict. The public is rejecting him, and the Constitutional Court must make a decision before it is too late."

The Gwangju Emergency Action stated, "If the Constitutional Court does not make a decision now, this week could be the last time its very reason for existence is questioned," and urged, "Respond to the people's mandate."
