'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

Text Fwd: Objections mount against Jeju naval base plans

____________________________________

Despite the rainy and foggy day, the construction companies did not stop the construction. Two activists prevented the day’s construction by laying their bodies under the cement mixer trucks in the morning of May 9. About 50~100 cement-mixer trucks have been daily entering into construction site for making near 10,000 concrete structures including tetra pods that would destroy the UNESCO protection-designated soft corals and other voiceless creatures in the sea.

Two of them have already gotten the 4th police letters to be investigated by their former actions by May 13, 2011. Song Gang-Ho, a leader of a peace group called the Frontiers have been arrested but released in three hours after the other activists’ demand to the police.

The below is the scenes on the day. You can see more photos and videos in the below links
