SEOUL: South Korean Acting President Choi Sang-mok on Tuesday pledged "zero tolerance" for any acts of violence as the Constitutional Court is set to deliver its ruling on whether to reinstate or remove impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol.
Expressing concerns over escalating social conflicts and physical clashes, he urged people to uphold a mature civic consciousness befitting the nation's status, emphasising that the international community is closely monitoring the situation, Yonhap news agency reported.
Amid concerns over possible unrest, police earlier announced they would mobilise all available resources and designate areas surrounding the Constitutional Court as special crime prevention zones on the day of the ruling.
