SEOUL, September 30 (AJP) - Former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo attended the first hearing of his trial on charges related to former President Yoon Suk Yeol's botched martial law debacle late last year.

Upon his arrival at the Seoul Central District Court around 9:30 a.m., Han did not respond to a barrage of questions from reporters.

He faces charges of aiding Yoon in his Dec. 3 declaration of martial law, making perjury, and falsifying documents.

The court allowed filming and broadcasting of the trial, citing the case's public interest. The full footage will be released online later.
