The court prevented conservative groups from meeting on the first day of the year.
The thirteenth administrative division of the Seoul Administrative Court (Judge Nak-won Jang) rejected a request for a stay of execution, which conservative groups submitted on October 3 to suspend the police ruling that prohibited the assembly near Gwanghwamun, Seoul.
On the 16th, conservative groups such as the ‘Free Democratic People’s Movement’ and the ‘National Compensation Committee of 8 · 15 Participants’ urged the abolition of martial law and crown martial law that crushes the basic rights of the economy of the common people in India and three lanes in front of the Sejong Center · 15th Rally I informed the police that I would be holding a rally with the theme “Condemnation of the political defense of the witch hunt”.
These groups expected to have 1,000 participants and said they would have 102 people to keep order. However, the police said that the next day, “the assembly and the demonstration have a high risk of spreading Corona 19 due to the large number of people gathered, the gathering of participants from all over the country and the possibility of spreading drops” . In that case, he prohibited the assembly, saying: “The announcement of the ban is given.
In response, these groups petitioned the court to prohibit the enforcement of the police provision. “The causal relationship between the demonstration held on Liberation Day and the increase in corona19 infections around August 9, 2020 is not sufficiently proven”, etc. .
However, the court refused to accept this claim. Below is the court ruling.
Without adequate and effective quarantine measures, a significant number of people are further infected in this case, where activities such as meetings are held, as well as civil society organizations to which people participated in the assembly, Seoul where they are located, and The risk of subsequent infections is expected to increase considerably in various parts of the metropolitan area.

Considering that it will be difficult for an orderly maintainer other than professional medical personnel to monitor dozens of participants, effective quarantine measures against COVID-19, such as observing the cough label and washing hands, are observed at a high level at the level of individual participants in the assembly. It is not reasonable to expect the risk of spread to be controlled.
The Judiciary emphasized that the prohibition of assembly by the police “is not in the case of violating the freedom of assembly by prohibiting all assembly collectively without reason.”
