In South Korea, the parliament and the people have created a new history of resistance against the martial law imposed by the president.
According to the International News Agency, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol was forced to lift the martial law imposed in the country within just 6 hours.
Opposition leaders say that this success of democracy was made possible by the unparalleled unity of the parliament and the people.A large number of people gathered outside the parliament building.
As a result, the soldiers could not enter the parliament and the MPs were able to pass a resolution to repeal martial law by a large majority.
At other key points in the country, people also took up security duties and prevented the army from entering.
There were crowds of people on the streets and in public places across the country. The civilians lay down under the military trucks. The eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation between the security forces and the public lasted for six hours and attracted international media attention.
Due to the unity and protest of the people, the army could not reach the main government buildings, including the parliament, and President Yoon Suk-yeol was forced to lift martial law.
