韩国前总统尹锡悦内乱案二审：特检组再次求处死刑
首尔——韩国首尔高等法院10月29日（周四）就前总统尹锡悦涉嫌带头发动内乱案举行二审结案庭审，负责调查紧急戒严事件的特别检察组再次请求法庭判处尹锡悦死刑，称一审无期徒刑量刑过轻。据韩联社报道，这是继今年1月一审求刑之后，特检组第二次提出死刑请求。
特检组在庭上表示：「对于判处尹锡悦死刑，没有理由犹豫。」特检组认为，2024年12月3日的紧急戒严不是一时冲动的「警告」，而是经过长期准备、企图长期垄断权力的「亲卫政变」，践踏了韩国宪政史的成果；一审虽然查清了基本事实，但在内乱准备时间和犯罪目的的认定上过窄，未能彻底追究责任，且本案不存在误判的可能。
尹锡悦2024年12月3日晚以铲除「从北势力」为由发布紧急戒严令，军队与警察进入国会，他随后被国会弹劾并被罢免。今年1月13日，特检组在一审中以涉嫌内乱头目罪请求判处其死刑；2月19日，首尔中央地方法院认定内乱头目罪成立，判处无期徒刑。按韩国法律，内乱头目罪的量刑选项只有死刑、无期徒刑与无期劳役三档。
特检组同日还请求判处前国防部长官金龙显无期徒刑、前情报司令官 Noh Sang-won 有期徒刑30年、前警察厅厅长 Cho Ji-ho 有期徒刑20年、前首尔警察厅厅长 Kim Bong-sik 有期徒刑15年、前国会警卫队队长 Mok Hyun-tae 有期徒刑12年。尹锡悦方面则主张戒严只是对在野党主导的国会的「警告」，否认有颠覆宪政秩序的目的。
二审结案程序分阶段进行：法院11月3日听取金龙显方面的结案陈述，11月5日听取尹锡悦方面的最终辩论与尹锡悦本人的最后陈述，之后公布二审宣判日期。韩国自1997年以来从未执行过死刑。尹锡悦另有一宗选举法案件的上诉判决定于11月4日宣判。
South Korea Special Counsel Seeks Death Penalty for Yoon Suk Yeol Again in Insurrection Appeal
Seoul — A South Korean special counsel team asked an appeals court on Thursday, October 29, to sentence former President Yoon Suk Yeol to death for leading an insurrection over his December 2024 martial law declaration, arguing that the life sentence he received at his first trial was too lenient, Yonhap News Agency reported. It was the second time prosecutors had sought the death penalty for Yoon, after first doing so in January.
"There is no reason to hesitate in seeking the death penalty," the special counsel team, led by Cho Eun-suk, told the Seoul High Court's Criminal Division 12-1 during closing arguments in the appeal. Prosecutors characterized the December 3, 2024 martial law decree not as an impulsive "warning" but as a long-planned self-coup aimed at monopolizing power, and said the first trial had taken too narrow a view of how long the plot was prepared and what its purpose was.
Yoon declared martial law on the night of December 3, 2024, sending troops and police into the National Assembly; he was impeached by parliament and removed from office. On January 13, the special counsel sought the death penalty at his first trial, but on February 19 the Seoul Central District Court convicted him of leading an insurrection and sentenced him to life in prison. Under South Korean law, the leader of an insurrection faces only three possible punishments: death, life imprisonment, or life imprisonment without labor.
Prosecutors also asked the court to sentence former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun to life in prison, former intelligence commander Noh Sang-won to 30 years, former national police chief Cho Ji-ho to 20 years, former Seoul police chief Kim Bong-sik to 15 years, and former National Assembly security chief Mok Hyun-tae to 12 years. Yoon's defense maintains the decree was meant only as a warning to the opposition-led legislature.
The appeal's closing proceedings continue on November 3 with arguments for Kim Yong-hyun and on November 5 with the defense's final arguments and Yoon's own final statement, after which the court will set a date for its ruling. South Korea has not carried out an execution since 1997. Yoon also faces a ruling on November 4 in a separate election-law appeal.
