Special Counsel Seeks 15-Year Term for Former Interior Minister Lee Sang-min in Martial Law Appeal

A special counsel team at Seoul High Court sought a 15-year prison term for former Interior Minister Lee Sang-min in an appellate trial over his alleged role in former President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed martial law bid. Lee is charged with giving orders to cut off water and power to critical media outlets after Yoon declared martial law on Dec. 3, 2024, and with giving false testimony during Yoon's impeachment trial. A lower court convicted him in February 2026 and sentenced him to seven years.
