A Seoul court has handed down prison terms to two men who took part in a violent attack on the court earlier this year.

On Wednesday the Seoul Western District Court sentenced a 35-year-old man surnamed Kim to 18 months in prison for trespassing and obstructing the performance of official duties.

The other man, a 28-year-old surnamed So, got a year in prison for trespassing.

It was the first ruling in the courthouse riot case.

The two men were part of a crowd that broke into the court’s compound and vandalized the premises and assaulted police officers on January 19, shortly after the court issued a pretrial detention warrant for former President Yoon Suk Yeol over the martial law incident.

The two were among 96 people charged with offenses in connection with the riot.
