The new rules include barring any attempt to hinder lawmakers from entering the National Assembly, and prohibiting the military and police from entering the National Assembly without the approval of the Speaker of the National Assembly. Yoon's martial law decree was lifted after about six hours when lawmakers, who had been forced to scale walls of the assembly building to make it through a ring of security forces, voted the decree down.
