Is South Korea's ex-president above the law? Yoon's refusal to cooperate raises alarms
Since his rearrest on Thursday last week , Yoon has repeatedly declined to comply with a summons from special prosecutors, citing chronic health issues, including diabetes. Three separate attempts have been made this week to transfer him to the Seoul High Prosecutors' Office. Each time, Yoon has refused to cooperate. Prison authorities say that, due to his status as a former president, they cannot use force to remove him from his cell. Supporters of Yoon stage a rally in solidarity with the South Korean ex-president near Seoul Central District Court on July 9.

From acquittal to arrest: Televangelist Omotoso detained on immigration charges
In what many deem as a fleeting moment of triumph, the Nigerian controversial televangelist, Timothy Omotoso has been rearrested, weeks after the ink had barely dried on his acquittal papers. Omotoso was previously acquitted of 32 alleged charges, including rape, racketeering, and human trafficking. However, his freedom was short-lived, as he was rearrested on May 10, 2025, in East London - South Africa. The rearrest is reportedly due to Omotoso's immigration status. The Minister of Home Affairs, Leon Schreiber, rejected his application to overturn his status as a prohibited person, as a result, Omotoso is considered to be in the country illegally and is subject to deportation. Moreover, he is scheduled to appear in court today, May 12, 2025, on charges of contravening provisions of the Immigration Act. The National Police Commissioner, Fannie Masemola, confirmed the arrest, stating that it was based on immigration matters.
