[Photo] Protests Banned Around 'Statue of Peace' Due to COVID-19

Every Wednesday, the Wednesday Demonstration by the Justice and Memory Foundation and conservative rallies held around the Statue of Peace in front of the former Japanese Embassy are completely banned to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). On the 3rd, Jongno-gu in Seoul announced that it would prohibit gatherings such as rallies and demonstrations around the Japanese Embassy area in Jung-hak-dong, Jongno-gu until the infectious disease crisis alert level 'Severe' is lifted. The photo shows the Statue of Peace in the afternoon of that day. /Reporter Moon Ho-nam munonam@
