(3/n) The 190 members present in the National Assembly of South Korea has voted to end the martial law, which is *constitutional procedure* that *mandates* the end to martial law restrictions. Whether the military will comply is not clear. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

(2/n) The #MartialLaw decree further allows the Martial Law command to censor the press and ban strikes and political assemblies. The last time South Korea was in martial law was 1979, when the pro-democracy "Seoul Spring" was violently suppressed by the military, killing 600-3500 people.
