Overview
- Solidarity Against Disability Discrimination staged a rush-hour bus-boarding action at Gwanghwamun in central Seoul, causing partial road closures and heavy delays.
- Wheelchair users tried to board city buses during the protest, which forced several buses to reverse and led officials to shut all four lanes toward Seodaemun for a time.
- Police deployed riot units, warned protesters over traffic obstruction, and physically removed some participants as scuffles broke out near the bus stops.
- After officers pushed the group off the roadway, protesters held a sidewalk rally that police labeled an unreported assembly, then moved to Cheong Wa Dae to read their policy demands.
- The action followed an overnight sit-in at Gwanghwamun Square, and commuters reported missed rides and long walks to work as congestion spread to general traffic lanes.
