South Korea: Activists to protest at Yeouido Park in Seoul Feb. 26

Event

Activists from the Health, Welfare, and Medical Solidarity group plan to protest along Yeoui-daero at Yeouido Park in Seoul from 14:00 Feb. 26 to denounce the proposed Nursing Act legislation. PArticipation is unclear, but unlikely to exceed the low hundreds.

Officials will likely increase security measures and monitor the demonstration Feb. 26. Localized ground transport disruptions are possible along Yeoui-daero and the vicinity of Yeouido Park. While the gathering is expected to pass off peacefully, minor skirmishes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, especially if participants attempt to gather in unauthorized areas or attempt to breach security cordons.

Advice

Avoid the rally as a security precaution. Follow all security personnel instructions. Allow additional travel time near events. Confirm business appointments and transport schedules in advance.
