[Image Description: Four screenshots of the linked article with the text presented in order.
First image: Title of the article: “Wheelchair Users Block the Seoul Subway as the Right Takes Power” / Subtitled: “The hostility of the conservative party has pushed the disability-rights movement to the center of a larger fight for minority groups in South Korea.” / Byline: “By Lee Hyun Choi”
Second image: Disability rights activists, many of them in wheelchairs, have been staging subway protests to demand accommodations on public transit. And on this day the demonstrators chained themselves to each other and to a portable ladder, reenacting a 2001 protest where activists chained themselves to the subway tracks. Now they shouted, “Pass a budget for disabled citizens! No rights without a budget!” They boarded trains in groups, which requires transit workers to install and uninstall wheelchair ramps, thus causing delays. A few of the activists had recently shaved their heads in public, a monkish ritual of sacrifice.
Fourth image, which has the next paragraph according to the full article: Lee Hyoung-sook, who leads a local advocacy group, was among those with her head shaved. At Gyeongbokgung station, she tried to board the train en route to Hyehwa station. Subway workers brought out a ramp so her wheels wouldn’t get stuck in the large gap between the platform and the car. Four more wheelchair users waited their turn to board in other sections of the train. While workers moved their one ramp around to get every wheelchair activist on board, the subway doors kept closing in on them. "Fellow citizens, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience,” Lee told her fellow passengers.“
Third image, which has the last paragraph in the excerpt according to the article: "We are waiting to hear back from President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol’s transition committee by April 20 on how they plan to ensure our basic human rights,” she explained. (April 20 is Korea’s National Day to Abolish Disability Discrimination.) “We hope to hear that the new government will do the bare minimum to safeguard our rights. But if we don’t, disabled citizens will resume boarding rush-hour trains again.”
