A coalition of disabled rights groups has revived their rush-hour subway protests.
The Solidarity Against Disability Discrimination said Thursday that its two-day campaign for the abolition of disability discriminations included a die-in at the platform of Gyeongbokgung Station at 9 a.m. Thursday was the second and last day of the coalition's latest campaign.
SADD is a coalition of disability organizations, as well as social, labor, human rights, and cultural groups, that advocates for the rights of people with disabilities.
The group is most known for its "morning subway riding" campaign last year, during which a number of disabled individuals attempted to ride the subway en masse during rush hour, effectively delaying subway operations at the busiest times.
The protests aimed to urge the National Assembly to pass a law protecting the rights of people with disabilities.
