SKorea's acting president pleads to accept ruling on president Yoon's impeachment

Seoul, Apr 2 (UNI) South Korean Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, who is serving as acting president, pleaded to accept a scheduled ruling on President Yoon Suk-yeol's impeachment, local media said Wednesday.
"No matter what decision is made, we must accept the consequences calmly and level-headedly in accordance with the principle of the rule of law," Han said at a meeting with public safety-related ministers, including chiefs of interior, justice and defense ministries as well as police and firefighting agencies.
The constitutional court will decide whether to remove Yoon from office on Friday over his botched martial law bid last December.
The acting president called on people to peacefully express their views during rallies in support of or against Yoon's impeachment, saying the ongoing crisis of confusion and conflict would be overcome if people become one again with their strength and wisdom.
He urged politicians to refrain from remarks provoking or inciting illegal protests and violence and show responsible attitudes contributing to social cohesion rather than division and conflict.
Han noted that any act challenging government authority and destroying the communities, such as the destruction of facilities, assault and arson, will be met with arrests on the scene and held accountable under a principle of zero tolerance, adding that the government will never tolerate any illegal or violent act.
