A court is set to rule in the insurrection trial of former President Yoon Suk Yeol.

The Seoul Central District Court will hold the sentencing hearing at 3 p.m. Thursday, 443 days after Yoon's brief declaration of martial law.

Seven other defendants will also receive verdicts on Thursday, including former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun and former National Police Agency chief Cho Ji-ho, who were indicted for key roles in the insurrection.

The sentencing session will be broadcast live, with Yoon appearing in court alongside his lawyers.

During the trial's final hearing last month, special counsel Cho Eun-suk requested the death penalty for Yoon, arguing that the former president deserved the maximum sentence for declaring martial law with the purpose of seizing the judiciary and legislature.
