Ex-President Yoon of South Korea Resists Questioning in Prison

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is currently resisting interrogation by prosecutors while incarcerated. Reports indicate that he has taken off his prison uniform and is lying on the floor of his cell, clad only in his underwear, as a form of protest against the questioning. This dramatic action comes amidst failed attempts by special counsel to execute a detention warrant for Yoon, who has repeatedly avoided questioning. South Korean courts have reissued arrest warrants in response to his no-shows, complicating the ongoing investigations into various allegations, including links to a cryptocurrency fraud.
