00:00South Korea's Supreme Court has upheld a seven-year prison sentence for former President Yoon Sook Yul
00:06over offenses linked to his failed martial law declaration in 2024.
00:11Yoon is already in detention while appealing a separate life sentence for leading an insurrection.
00:17In the latest case, prosecutors accused Yoon of obstructing cabinet deliberations
00:22by consulting only a select group of ministers before declaring martial law.
00:27He was also convicted of forging official documents, misleading foreign media,
00:31and ordering the deletion of records from secure military phones.
00:36Prosecutors initially sought a 10-year sentence for Yoon,
00:39but a lower court sentenced him to five years after convicting him on most charges.
00:44In April, an appeals court upheld the ruling but raised the sentence to seven years.
