Police Launch Investigation Into Woman Who Blocked Access to Sports Facility; Protests Enter 13th Day
The police announced that they have launched an investigation into a woman on charges including obstruction of business for blocking sports groups from entering the Handball Gymnasium at Olympic Park in Seoul yesterday (June 16).

The woman is accused of holding onto the gymnasium doors and blocking passage for approximately two hours yesterday when People Power Party lawmakers, including Representative Jang Dong-hyuk, attempted to enter the venue after reaching an agreement with some of the protesters.

The blockade protest at the Jamsil counting station in Seoul, where participants are demanding the prevention of the removal of ballot boxes—claiming election fraud and calling for a re-election—has entered its 13th day today (June 17).
