Police said Thursday they have applied for an arrest warrant for a woman who staged a solo blockade of a vote counting center last month amid protests demanding a rerun of the June 3 local elections. The woman is accused of standing outside a door to the Olympic Park Handball Gymnasium in southern Seoul, which had been used as a ballot counting center, on June 16 and preventing sports groups based at the stadium from entering. The woman had refused to move despite Jang Dong-hyeok, leader of the main opposition People Power Party, brokering an agreement between protesters and the sports groups for sports officials to enter their offices inside the gym. The Seoul Songpa Police Station said it applied for the warrant for the woman on charges of obstruction of business. The police have also requested an arrest warrant for a man in his 30s on charges of illegally searching through personal belongings of members of the national women's youth handball team outside the stadium on June 8. The protests began after shortages of ballot papers were reported at multiple polling stations on election day
