Authorities in South Korea expected that tens of thousands of protesters would descend into Central Seoul on Friday, while the State Constitutional Court decides on the fate of President Yoon Suk Yela.

At least 14,000 police were deployed to the area around the court, closing the subway station and locing up the area near the former royal palace, which is popular with tourists and the House of large companies. Drones are forbidden from the area, ordered to be ordered to be ordered by schools, suppliers and companies.

The first protests were supposed to start at 10 o’clock local time, on the eve of a possible court decision that could come at 11 o’clock, Mr. Yon was not expected to attend the reading of the decision, which would determine whether he would be formally removed from duty or returned to power.

Millions of the South Koreans protested, mostly calm, since Mr. Yoon declared a martial art on December 3, inserting a nation into a political turnaround and forced the legislators to hand it. Mr. Yoon was detained in January on the mouth -to -mouth charges but released Unexpected last month after the Seoul Court said that his detention was procedurally wrong.

On the eve of the Constitutional Court’s decision, which cannot be complained, the increasing concern that Mr. Yoon’s supporters will clash with those who demand that they remove it from duty. After his arrest in January, some of Mr. Yoon’s supporters overcame the local court, breaking through the windows and threatening the judge to listen to his case.

Police have created an environment like a fortress outside the Constitutional Court, placing metal barriers of 15 feet high on both sides of the main avenue approaching the complex in an effort not to face the two campsites. Between the added security doors, the police parked a dozen buses and set up fewer metal fences to distract people from taking the area.

The police response is not without precedent. In 2017, thousands of people tried to cross the police barricade near the court after it was ruled that the president, Geun-Hye Park, should be removed from his duties. At least four people died during the protest. On the eve of the Constitutional Court’s judgment, the temporary leader of South Korea, Han Duck-Soo, called on the nation to respect his decision “calm”.

“The government will not tolerate any illegal or violent deeds,” he said on Wednesday, urging politicians not to encourage violence. “This is the time to place the stability and fate of our community ahead of political interests.”
