1. Catholic Jeju District will have the missal at the vigil tent, near the planned naval base area, at 5:30pm, April 26, 2010

As the navy has announced that it would have the safety-prayer ceremony on April 28, the Catholic fathers will have the missal for the prevention of the Jeju naval base construction and for the Island of Peace, near the vigil tent that confronts the Navy’s makeshift structure and ugly propaganda boards, at 5:30pm, April 26. Hundreds of participants are expected.

“If the naval base is constructed, the Aegis Destroyers that would enter the base, will swallow the Beom Island along with the coral habitats under it. Not only that, the military vessels will eventually swallow the whole Jeju Island,” Gangjeong mayor Kang Dong-Kyun says.

The navy's ugly makeshift structures and propaganda boards have been standing since Jan. 18, 2010, in the planned naval base area. People's tent is right side, outside of the photo.
