'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)

[Jeju Update] [Translation] Hankyoreh Editorial: Naval base construction and human courtesy toward the Jeju Island people

______________________________
The navy is oppressing villagers to remove their green houses and vigil tents along the construction-planned area. A villager who has strongly protested against naval base construction is looking at a navy’s sign board which was being built near his farm.



villager who has been persistently keeping his green house despite navy's oppression has gotten navy's April 29 letter that he should remove his green house or pay the fine of about 16million won or should send it his own dispute letter by April 30. A villagers' lawyer is helping the villagers to submit the letters to the navy. If not, the villager' green house must have been removed by April 30.

Shin Ku-Bum, a former Island governor who has had a 10 day's solidarity fast along with Yang Yoon-Mo, movie critic who meets his 26th day fast in jail as of May 1, visited the village on April 30. He encouraged people that there were no need to be in despair by the passage of the Jeju Special law in the National Assembly and that the efforts for the realization of the truth investigation committee on the naval base construction process in the National Assembly was more important. A writer had the pose along with him.
