South Korea police impose foreign travel ban on ex-PM Han and ex-finance minister Choi

South Korean police have imposed a ban on foreign travel for former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and ex-finance minister Choi Sang-mok as part of an investigation into alleged insurrection, a police official said on Tuesday.
South Korea's police have introduced a new rule requiring foreign residents to carry their identification at all times, effective from December 2023, to enhance public safety and prevent crimes by foreigners. This decision, influenced by recent violent crimes committed by foreigners, has sparked controversy and raised concerns about racial profiling and human rights. Critics argue that the policy may lead to discriminatory practices and unfairly target foreigners, while supporters believe it will help maintain order and security. The policy has led to protests and debates about its implications on the rights and treatment of foreign nationals in South Korea.
