Activists to rally near City Hall Station in Seoul, South Korea, 15:00 Oct. 19. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Activists affiliated with the so-called Candlelight March movement will protest near Seoul's City Hall Station from 15:00 on Oct. 19. The action is part of an ongoing series of sporadic demonstrations denouncing the current administration's policies. Previous well-attended events have attracted tens of thousands of participants.
Authorities will probably monitor the gathering as a precaution. Associated localized transport disruptions are likely. Isolated minor scuffles between police and demonstrators cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the demonstration as a standard precaution. Plan accordingly for potential localized transport disruptions. Heed all official transport and security advisories. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance.
