South Korean National Assembly rejects President’s martial law declaration

South Korea’s president has declared emergency martial law, banning all political activities. However, the national assembly has passed a resolution rejecting the move, deeming it invalid. Opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-Myung stated that following the president's orders after the parliament's vote would now be illegal. Earlier, the military attempted to prevent politicians from entering the parliament. Protests against martial law have broken out outside the building.
