TV footage has shown South Korea’s impeached Yoon Suk Yeol coming out of prison.

Yoon waved and bowed to his supporters after he came out of a detention centre in Seoul, a day after a court in the capital cancelled his arrest to allow him to stand trial for his rebellion charge without being physically detained.
