Protesters stormed the Seoul Western District Court in January this year after a judge extended the detention of Yoon -- South Korea’s first sitting head of state to be arrested -- over his brief imposition of martial law.
The Seoul Western District Court sentenced two men -- identified only by their surnames Kim, 35, and So, 28, -- to one year and six months, and one year in prison, respectively, a court spokesperson told AFP.
“The overall outcome of the crime was devastating,“ the court said in a statement after the ruling was delivered.
Yoon had been a lame duck president since the opposition Democratic Party won a majority in parliamentary elections in April last year.
After his move, he garnered support from extreme religious figures and right-wing YouTubers -- many of whom have been linked to the January courthouse riot.
In early January, weeks prior to the riot incident, he sent a message to his hardline supporters warning that the country was “in danger” and pledging to stand with them “to the very end”.
