Park Kyung-seok, Former Jeon Jang-yeon Representative, Reported Again for Posting Propaganda Stickers

Expansion of Target Area from Existing Samgakji Station to Hyehwa Station
Stickers Attached to Platform Floors and Walls

Park Kyung-seok, co-representative of the National Solidarity for the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities (Jeonjangyeon), has been reported again on charges of placing a large number of stickers containing his claims on subway platforms.

The conservative civic group Liberty Korea Patriotic Corps filed a complaint with the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency on the afternoon of the same day, accusing Park and other Jeonjangyeon members of special property damage. Since the subway protests began in December 2021, Park and others are reported to have attached stickers related to disability budgets and mobility rights demands on the floors and walls of the Samgakji Station and Hyehwa Station platforms on Seoul Subway Line 4.

Earlier, the police received a related complaint from Gu Ki-jung, the head of Samgakji Station, and had been investigating Park and others on charges of property damage. This new complaint expands the scope of damage from Samgakji Station to include Hyehwa Station as well. The police are expected to merge this new case with the existing one for further investigation.

From July 27 last year to January 20 this year, Park was summoned 18 times on charges of violating the Assembly and Demonstration Act by occupying roads and obstructing train operations during subway boarding protests at Gyeongbokgung Station, Samgakji Station, and City Hall Station, but he refused to appear each time.

Park’s position is that he will appear at the police stations in Seoul’s 31 districts if a budget is promised to install convenience facilities such as elevators for persons with disabilities.
