President Park Geun-hye Of South Korea Impeached

President Park Geun-hye is impeached. The constitutional court upheld the decision of the ruling, making Park the first democratically elected president to be removed by impeachment after a corruption scandal involving Park and her longtime friend Choi Soon-sil.

                

Chief justice Lee Jung-Mi, while delivering the court ruling said Park's action had "seriously impaired the spirit of... democracy and the rule of law," he then added; "President Park Geun-Hye... has been dismissed."

The impeachment has stripped Park of legal shields blocking her prosecution, and this might be an open season on the former president of South Korea.
