[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] A total of 1,023 individuals from the medical community and others have filed a collective administrative lawsuit opposing the COVID-19 vaccine pass.

According to the legal community on the 2nd, 1,023 people including medical professionals, religious figures, and ordinary citizens filed a lawsuit on December 31 of last year at the Seoul Administrative Court against the Minister of Health and Welfare, the Director of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, and the Mayor of Seoul. The plaintiffs appointed lawyers Do Tae-woo and Yoon Yong-jin as their representatives.

They argued, "The government is effectively forcing COVID-19 vaccination, which has not undergone proper clinical trials, by imposing severe restrictions on unvaccinated individuals' use of social facilities such as restaurants, cafes, and academies, thereby producing severe patients and deaths," and stated, "The administrative measures must be canceled."

Additionally, they submitted a request for a provisional suspension to the court to temporarily halt the vaccine pass measures.
