South Korea: Activists plan to hold daily protests on subway lines 3 and 4 in Seoul as of May 4

Event

Activists from the Solidarity Against Disability Discrimination group plan to hold daily protests on Subway Lines 3 and 4 as of May 4. Participants are calling for improved policies to support people with disabilities. Protesters will travel from Gyeongbokgung Station to Dongguk University Station on Line 3 daily from 08:00. Dozens of people will likely participate in the gatherings and will typically attempt to delay train services.

Security personnel will likely maintain heightened security during the protests. Train service delays, particularly along Subway Lines 3 and 4, are likely when gatherings occur. Increased demand for alternative means of transport is possible. Residual disruptions may occur after any protest ends.

Advice

Avoid the protests as a security precaution. Plan accordingly for train service delays. Allow additional travel time near affected locations.
