[Photo] Court Denies Large-Scale March 1st Rally…Partial Limited Permission Granted

On the 28th, a notice prohibiting gatherings in the city center was installed at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul. Ahead of the March 1st Movement anniversary, the court applied strict standards to large-scale rallies and decided to ban them. The intention is to prevent risks similar to those during last year's Liberation Day in Seoul's city center, which led to a COVID-19 cluster infection. However, some rallies with restrictions on time and number of participants were permitted. / Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
