[Asia Economy Reporter Gong Byung-sun] The operation of Seoul Subway Line 4 was temporarily disrupted due to a protest by disability rights groups demanding mobility rights.
On the 28th, the National Solidarity for the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities held a protest from around 7:20 a.m. for about 1 hour and 20 minutes between Hansung University Entrance Station and Seoul Station on Seoul Subway Line 4. They conducted the protest by riding electric wheelchairs and blocking the subway doors from closing.
