Woman Who Blocked Access to Jamsil Vote Counting Station Appears for Arrest Warrant Hearing; Remains Silent

Some protesters, including a woman accused of blocking sports organization staff at the Olympic Park vote counting station, are facing the possibility of arrest.
The Seoul Eastern District Court held a pre-arrest interrogation today, July 21, for the woman in her 30s, identified as A, and others on charges of obstruction of business.
Upon arriving at the court, A did not respond to questions from reporters, such as "What will you explain in your defense?" and "Do you admit to the charges of obstruction of business?" and headed straight into the courtroom.
A is accused of obstructing the work of the sports organization on June 16 by holding onto the door alone and resisting for approximately two hours to prevent some protesters and People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyeok from entering the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium, where the vote counting station was set up.
Arrest warrant hearings were also held for one man in his 30s accused of illegally searching the women's junior national handball team that entered the gymnasium on June 8, and three men in their 20s accused of swearing at a police officer and blocking a path at the vote counting station on June 6, calling the officer "Chinese police."
The decision on whether to issue arrest warrants for them is expected to be made as early as this afternoon.
