A South Korean court has denied an arrest warrant for a woman in her 30s who single-handedly blocked the entrance to the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium in Seoul for roughly two hours on June 16, preventing sports organisations from entering a venue previously used as a ballot counting centre. The Seoul Eastern District Court ruled there was no risk of evidence destruction or flight, dismissing the obstruction-of-business charge brought by police. The protest was part of a broader conservative movement demanding a rerun of the June 3 local elections, sparked by reports that ballot paper shortages had turned away voters at multiple polling stations on election day.
