Court Partially Allows People's Solidarity Rally Near Yongsan Presidential Office

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] The court has ruled to allow a civic group's rally near the Yongsan Presidential Office on the 21st, the day of the South Korea-US summit.

The Seoul Administrative Court Administrative Division 13 (Chief Judge Park Jeong-dae) partially granted the suspension of execution (suspension of effect) requested by People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy, which appealed against the Yongsan Police Station's prohibition of the rally, on the 20th.

With this decision, People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy will be able to hold a rally in front of the Presidential Office on the 21st. However, they must follow the methods and scope of the rally as permitted by the court. The specific details have not yet been disclosed.

Earlier, People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy had reported to the police their intention to hold a press conference and rally in front of the Ministry of National Defense and the War Memorial, advocating for "implementation of inter-Korean and North Korea-US agreements and peace on the Korean Peninsula," but received a prohibition notice and subsequently appealed by applying for suspension of execution.
