Police Arrest Warrant Issued for Ilpamanpa Leader Leading Gwangbokjeol Rally

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] The Jongno Police Station in Seoul announced on the 23rd that it has applied for an arrest warrant for Kim Mo, the representative of the conservative group 'Ilpamanpa,' who led a rally in downtown Seoul on Liberation Day.

Representative Kim is accused of holding a rally that significantly exceeded the reported scope amid the resurgence of COVID-19 cluster infections on the 15th of last month, violating the Infectious Disease Control and Prevention Act and the Assembly and Demonstration Act.

At that time, 'Ilpamanpa' had reported a rally of about 100 people on Sejong-daero in front of the Dongwha Duty Free Shop in Gwanghwamun, but it is known that the number of participants, including those from Sarang Jeil Church, gathered and exceeded 5,000.
