Impeached president

Park Geun-hye: S Korea awaits trial of impeached president

Ms Park, who was very popular when she came to power in 2012, was impeached and removed from office in March following mass protests.

Once impeached, she lost presidential immunity and is facing charges including bribery, abusing state power and leaking state secrets.

Ms Park has always denied wrongdoing.

She has been in detention since shortly after her impeachment and has insisted that she is being framed.
