In response to President Yoon Seok-yeol's request to cancel his arrest, ruling party lawmaker says, ”There is no risk of evidence being destroyed or him fleeing... Cancellation is natural” (South Korea)

Yoon Sang Hyun, a member of the ruling People's Power Party, was arrested on the 4th on suspicion of being a mastermind behind a rebellion. President Yoon Seok-yeol, who was on trial, requested the court to revoke his arrest.
"This is a natural request from President Yoon's side, and so far, the investigation and arrest of President Yoon by the Office of Investigation into Crimes by High-Ranking Public Officials, the issuance of a warrant by the Seoul Western District Court, and the arrest of the prosecutors are all grounds for dismissal," the statement said.
Considering that most of the charges were illegal, it is only natural that the detention should be revoked." Yoon said on Facebook that day, "There is virtually no concern that evidence will be destroyed or that he will flee."
"Why should we maintain his detention when he is in a state so close to death?" President Yoon's side said on the same day that he was arrested at the 25th Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Court, which is handling the case.
A request for cancellation was submitted. Unless there are special circumstances, the court must decide whether to cancel the request within seven days of receiving it.
Rep. Yoon said, "The Air Transport Service does not have the authority to investigate or prosecute the incumbent president for treason, and the Seoul Western District Court issued a criminal complaint.
It remains questionable whether the arrest warrant even considered the protection of President Yoon's right to self-defense, and whether it was legitimate to arrest and indict President Yoon based on only superficial records sent by the Public Prosecutor's Office and the police.
"Compared to the case of Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, this is nothing more than a forced arrest," he said. "Especially with the impeachment trial of President Yoon underway, such an unreasonable arrest is unacceptable.
"The decision to proceed with the arrest trial without due consideration can only be seen as an attempt to influence the impeachment trial. The Seoul Central District Court must take these points into consideration and revoke President Yoon's arrest."
He repeatedly asserted.
