As South Korea awaits a critical ruling from the constitutional court regarding President Yoon Suk Yeol's impeachment, officials are ramping up security measures throughout the capital. A designated no-fly zone and road closures aim to prevent potential unrest. Authorities are on high alert, recalling the violent protests tied to past court decisions. With over 14,000 police deployed, a strict zero-tolerance policy towards illegal activities has been established, as South Korea's history of turbulent protests looms in the backdrop of this verdict.
A 1.85 km radius around the court has been declared a no-fly zone for Friday, with equipment deployed to disable drones.
The police have warned of zero tolerance for any illegal activities related to the court decision, following a mob rampage at another court.
Authorities were also caught off guard by the violent protest following the ruling ousting former president Park Geun-hye in 2017.
More than 14,000 police officers will be mobilised throughout Seoul, with the authorisation to use pepper spray and batons if needed.
