South Korean President Moon Jae-in has ordered his military to immediately turn in all documents drafted by a military intelligence unit that detailed plans to declare martial law if protests grew violent following a court ruling in March 2017 that would determine the fate of conservative then-President Park Geun-hye. <br /><br /> "President Moon said although the case will be investigated strictly and fairly by the defense ministry's special team, as the commander-in-chief, he needs to find out what really happened and whether the martial law plan had been readied to the level of execution."<br /><br /> The president's order comes amid an ongoing probe into revelations this past week of a document showing the military's Defense Security Command in late 2016 drafted plans to mobilize troops to <br />suppress protests and crack down on rallies and candlelight vigils against then-President Park.<br /> Lawmakers had impeached Park over broad corruption allegations in December 2016.<br />The plans for troop deployment were never carried out. <br />
