Lawyers for detained South Korean president say he will reject questioning by investigators

South Korea's impeached President, Yoon Suk Yeol, is detained as authorities seek a court warrant for his formal arrest amid rebellion charges related to his martial law declaration on December 3.
Yoon's lawyers failed to secure his release, and the court will decide on his arrest after a hearing on Saturday afternoon.
Yoon's detention could extend up to six months if indicted, with rebellion punishable by life imprisonment or death in South Korea.
Hundreds of Yoon's supporters protested for his release outside the court, while he denies accusations of attempting to seize the legislature.
