韩国前总统尹锡悦 新华社首尔1月14日消息，韩国负责调查紧急戒严事件的特别检察组13日晚以涉嫌带头发动内乱为由， 要求法庭判处前总统尹锡悦死刑。法庭14日凌晨宣布，2月19日进行一审宣判。 检方表示，全斗焕、卢泰愚曾因1979年12月军事政变和1980年5月紧急戒严事件等被定罪量刑。尽管有 这一历史教训，本案仍然发生。因此，对被告量刑时必须严肃考虑"再犯可能性"。 根据韩国法律，针对内乱头目可判处死刑或无期徒刑。检方说，虽然国际上将韩国视为"实际上已废除 死刑的国家"，但死刑仍可用于量刑和宣判。被告犯罪手段恶劣、毫无悔意，应"从重处罚"，因此要求 判处尹锡悦死刑。 检方还要求法庭分别判处前情报司令官卢相源、韩国警察厅前厅长赵志浩等6名被告有期徒刑10年至30 年不等。 同案被告、前国防部长官金龙显被检方要求判处无期徒刑。 结案庭审原计划本月9日完成，但由于当天首先进行证据审查程序的金龙显方辩护律师在庭审中采取"拖 延战术"，导致尹锡悦方证据审查以及外界最为关注的检方提出量刑建议等程序未能完成。 13日重新开庭后，尹锡悦方的证据审查程序持续约11个小时。随后，检方发表意见陈述并提出量刑建 议。 检方认定，尹锡悦 ...
