The arrest warrant for a woman in her 30s, who blocked sports organization staff from entering a vote counting station during a protest at Olympic Park, has been denied.

The Seoul Eastern District Court stated, "There is no recognized risk of evidence destruction or flight."

Among the five participants in the vote counting station blockade protest who underwent warrant reviews, only one individual—a man in his 20s accused of obstructing official duties by swearing at police officers during a protest last month—had an arrest warrant issued against him.
