The arrest warrant for former Ground Operations Commander Kang Ho-pil, who is suspected of involvement in the December 3 emergency martial law declaration, has been denied.

The Seoul Central District Court, which held a pre-arrest interrogation for the former commander yesterday (July 13), explained the dismissal by stating, "There is room for dispute regarding the criminal charges, and it is difficult to see that there is a risk of evidence destruction or flight."

Kang is accused of participating in an insurrection by ordering the establishment of an internal situation room at the Ground Operations Command and summoning all officers to the headquarters following the declaration of emergency martial law on December 3.
