South Korea: Democratic Party of Korea to protest at North Square of Bupyeong Station in Incheon June 17

Event

The Democratic Party of Korea plans to rally at the North Square of Bupyeong Station in Incheon, June 17 to protest against Japan's decision to discharge the waste water caused by the Fukushima nuclear incident. Organizers have yet to announce the start time of the event, which could attract hundreds of people.

Authorities will likely monitor the protest. Localized transport disruptions are likely as demonstrators blocked roadways in previous protests. While violence is unlikely, minor skirmishes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out entirely.

Advice

Exercise caution and allow additional travel time if operating near the protest site. Leave the area immediately if violence breaks out.
