South Korea’s conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was impeached, has been released from prison 

His release on Saturday comes one day after a Seoul court canceled his arrest on procedural grounds so he could stand trial for rebellion, according to the Associated Press.

Yoon is still under investigation as a result of his declaration of martial law.
