Police seek arrest warrant for woman over solo blockade of vote counting center

Police in South Korea have applied for an arrest warrant for a woman who blocked access to a vote-counting center during protests calling for a rerun of the June 3 local elections. The incident occurred at the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium in Seoul, where the facility was being used as a ballot counting center. The woman allegedly prevented officials from the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee from entering the premises on June 16, despite mediation by opposition leader Jang Dong-hyeok. The police also seek warrants for others involved in related incidents, including illegal searches and verbal abuse of officers. The protests followed reports of ballot paper shortages at several polling stations, leading to some voters being unable to cast their ballots.
