Martial Law

South Korean parliament votes to block martial law following president's declaration

The South Korean president accused opposition of controlling parliament, sympathising with North Korea and anti-state activities.

190 lawmakers in the parliament voted unanimously to block the motion.

The country's opposition leader has denounced the newly imposed martial law as "illegal".

The Irish embassy in South Korea urged Irish citizens to follow instructions from the authorities and avoid public demonstrations.
