A suspect who damaged the billboard in Shinchon Station, Seoul, against the discrimination against sexual minorities, was caught.

The Seoul Mapo Police Station said today (3rd) that a man in his twenties was carrying out an investigation on the charges of property damage.

On the 31st of last month, sexual minority human rights groups installed a large billboard on '2020 International Sexual Minority Dislike Opposition Day' at Sinchon Station on Seoul Subway Line 2. In the billboard, we put pictures of the faces of the campaign participants and put the phrase "Sexual minorities are in your daily life."

The billboard was to be published over the course of a month in August as part of the Human Rights Group's collaboration with the National Human Rights Commission of Korea. But on the 2nd, it was damaged by Mr. A.


When the news of the damage to the billboard was announced,'Rainbow Action Against Sexual Minority Discrimination' and some citizens immediately made the phrase'Sexual Minority' with a memo paper containing a cheering phrase on a blank billboard. However, this too was not exceeded a day, and the following day, more than half was found.

Police are also investigating whether Mr. A did the second damage.

Sexual minority human rights groups originally tried to post the billboard in Hongik University Station on Subway Line 2 on May 25th, on the International Day Against Sexual Minority Abuse (May 17), but Seoul Transportation Corporation delayed approval to say that it was a'opinion advertisement'. It is said to have run.

It was difficult to post an advertisement on Sinchon Station, such as making a complaint on the human rights, but it was damaged in succession.


At the end of the twist, the billboard was posted again in the same location on the afternoon of the 3rd. "Because of the solidarity and support of many people, Rainbow Action's 2020 Idaho joint action subway advertisement has been re-published. Please be a citizen watchdog to check that the re-published advertisement can be fully posted by August 31," he said. I said it.
