BRUTAL SOUTH KOREAN GOV & NAVY - NOTHING BUT THE EXTENDED ARM OF U.S.A. IMPERIALISM **Police crack down on peaceful resistance to Jeju Island naval base construction* *The South Korean government has ramped up its aggression in response to a tiny fishing village's peaceful resistance to the construction of a naval base there. This follows growing global attention to the residents’ cause. * On July 15, undercover police officers raided the tiny fishing village of Gangjeong on Jeju Island, off the southern coast of the Republic of Korea (ROK) and arrested three key figures in the peaceful resistance to the ROK naval base. Since base plans were announced five years ago, Jeju residents have used every democratic means to block its construction, including filing a lawsuit against ROK Defense Minister and holding a recall vote to oust a local governor who had consented to the plan. The hugely unpopular project has caused 95% of the island's population to vote against it. The recent South Korean aggression is in response to growing global attention to the residents’ cause, including a letter of support from American feminist and political activist Gloria Steinem, and the launch of an English-language website and online petition supported by over 100 peace and religious groups worldwide. "If we stop this naval base, it will be contagious for peace, the environment, and democracy," wrote Steinem, urging others to sign the petition. "Jeju Island means Women’s Island. It stands for an ancient balance. We must save it from the cult of militarism that endangers us all, women and men." The 400,000 square meter base will be home to a new fleet of destroyers equipped with advanced Aegis ballistic missile defense systems. Many military analysts believe that the Jeju Island naval base will serve as part of the U.S. military’s sea-based ballistic missile defense system. This same technology is also a proven anti-satellite weapon. Located strategically in the Korea Strait, the island’s potential to become a military target in the event of an armed conflict will increase exponentially with this naval base, says military analyst Matthew Hoey of the Cambridge-based Military Space Transparency Project. "The Aegis missile defense system on Jeju Island is part of a much larger ballistic missile defense network overseen by the U.S. military,” said Hoey. “This system has already or will soon be provided to India, Japan, Australia and South Korea, and risks forcing the hand of China’s military to shore up its nuclear deterrent.” The ROK Navy expects to complete construction of the base on Jeju in 2014. Officials say the base, which would accommodate more than 20 warships, submarines, and other naval vessels will cost about 800-billion-won, or 865 million U.S. dollars. Major contractors on the base construction job include Samsung Corporation. The South Korean President Lee Myung-bak announced commitments in 2008 and 2009 to purchase and deploy a fleet of Aegis destroyers equipped with US anti-ballistic missile and radar systems, built jointly by Hyundai and Lockheed-Martin. Jeju, also known as “honeymoon island,” attracts many tourists for its high biological diversity, and unique volcanic topography. The proposed military facility is in the pristine fishing village of Gangjeong, which is surrounded by three UNESCO sites. "The site, of outstanding aesthetic beauty, also bears testimony to the history of the planet, its features and processes," UNESCO wrote. Jeju is a finalist for the “new 7 wonders of the world” campaign for its majestic natural beauty. Construction is in the early stages but is accelerating daily with the dredging of the island’s seabed and its coral reef. In 2009 over 400 Jeju residents lost a lawsuit against Defense Minister Kim Tae-young claiming the ministry approved the construction of the base without completing a study of the environmental -723293390 impact on the island. Included among those arrested in Thursday's raid was Brother Song Kang-Ho, the village mayor Kang Dong-Kyun, and base opposition leader Ko Kwon-Il. In addition to facing up to five years in prison, the three face hefty fines. The South Korean Navy and Minister of Justice Lee Gui Nam also issued a notice to 77 individuals and civil society organizations for disturbing the construction of the naval base, which bans them from getting into the public water or approaching the land near the Joongduk coastline where the naval base will be constructed. For Korea analysts like Christine Ahn, executive director of the U.S.-based Korea Policy Institute, the ROK government’s “repression against the villagers communicates to the world that South Korea has returned to the era of authoritarian rule." July 16, 2011 *Statement of appeal * ***“We appeal to save Gangjeong!” <http://www.dmzhawaii.org/?p=9144>* The Joongduk coast of Gangjeong Village in Jeju Island is now suffering. In 2006, Jeju Island was designated as an Island of Peace for the purpose of consoling the deep sorrow of the April 3rd Massacre. And the Joongduk coast was appointed as a Biosphere Reserve, World Heritage Site, and Global Geological Park by UNESCO. It is an Absolute Preservation Area, which is now suffering from naval base construction. Insisting that the naval base is vital for national security, the Korean government and the navy are enforcing the construction. However, the Ocean Navy expansion plan upon which the base construction was justified has been discarded in revisions to the national defense bill regarding strategies to counteract recent security threats, leaving no justification for this new base. In addition, the original argument from the government when the National Assembly budget bill was passed was to construct a Joint Civil Military site to be used for tourism as well as military purposes. However, that plan has disappeared and now only the military base is being constructed. By maintaining military alliances with Japan, Australia, South Korea, and India, and through joint military exercises with the Philippines, Vietnam, and Taiwan, the U.S. is attempting to build up its defense line against China. If the Jeju naval base is constructed, the U.S., which possesses the right to station there according to the ROK-U.S. Mutual Defense Agreement, will surely use this base to stand up against China. In that case, Jeju Island, an Island of Peace, will become a center of military conflict between the U.S. and China, jeopardizing South Korea’s national security. Government and military authorities, however, are turning a blind eye to the voices of Gangjeong residents and civil peace activists, as well as to the demands to suspend the construction coming from the opposition parties and the investigation committee of the National Assembly. The navy has even used violence against a protesting civilian. On July 11, the national government recommended that the city government barricade a farm road on the Joongduk coast, which is the last remaining piece of state-owned land under the jurisdiction of Seogwipo city within the site of the naval base construction. This action was a response to the demand from the Ministry of National Defense to discourage any attempts to stage a protest against the naval base construction. However, such efforts by the government to enforce the construction only bring about stronger resistance and conflicts from Gangjeong residents and peace activists. The construction must be stopped before any unfortunate accidents take place. *We appeal to the government and military authorities.* The argument for the base construction by the government and the navy is no longer valid. Moreover, the means and procedures used to promote the construction have been so violent and deceptive that they are only causing more resistance and resentment. Unilaterally pushing ahead with the construction, in the name of the national project, is obviously not a wise way. We call upon the government and military authorities to withdraw their plan to close the farm road and to completely reexamine the Jeju naval base construction project. *We appeal to Woo Keun-Min, Jeju governor* Governor Woo, you were aware of the negative consequences that could result from the naval base construction and you were right. We urge you to give up the futile illusion about the development profit and to listen to the desperate voices of the residents. We further request you to use your authority to cancel the removal of the “absolute preservation area” designation of Joongduk coast. If you do so, history would remember you as a person who protects the peace of Jeju and the Korean peninsula. *We appeal to the national assembly* As an entity representing citizens, the national assembly has a duty to listen to and respond to citizens’ voices. We appeal to the opposition parties to be more active in nullifying the Jeju naval base construction project. The Grand National Party, as the current ruling party, should seriously examine whether the base is really needed and whether national budget should be spent on inflating military forces and feeding construction capital. *We appeal to citizens.* Gangjeong citizens have been fighting alone for over four long years. In the meantime, the village community has been torn apart, leaving indelible scars. Citizens are also engulfed with fears due to various lawsuits from the government and construction companies, as well as fines up to tens of millions of won. They are suffering from the fact that the Goorungbi boulder, which represents their dreams and memories, might be covered with cement block. Please express your solidarity and give them your consolation. And if you can, please visit Gangjeong Village. Then you might be able to understand more clearly why the construction must be stopped. In addition, please use your wisdom and energy to do whatever you can in your position to prevent the Jeju naval base construction. *We appeal to peace advocates worldwide.* International support, advocacy, and solidarity to stop the Jeju naval base construction give Gangjeong residents and peace activists strength and courage. Please spread the news of these problems related to the Jeju naval base construction with your networks and show us your support and solidarity. We will try our best to prevent the Jeju naval base construction which endangers the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia, and which is destroying the lives of Gangjeong residents and the natural environment, a gift from heaven. We firmly believe that this struggle is our responsibility to Jeju Island, where the sorrow of the April 3rd massacre is deeply embedded, that this is a expression! of our conscience regarding the suffering Gangjeong residents, and that it is the demand of the times to protect and ensure peace for our children. We sincerely appeal to everybody who stands alongside us to protect Gangjeong Village and Jeju Island. *South Korean Crackdown on Peace Activists * 15. July 2011 We have very tragic news to report from Jeju Island, South Korea. At the crack of dawn on Friday, undercover police officers came to Gangjeong village and arrested three major leaders of the peaceful resistance: Village Chief Kang Dong-Kyun, renowned peace activist Brother Song Kang-Ho, and base opposition leader Ko Kwon-Il. The South Korean Navy and Minister of Justice Lee Gui Nam also issued a threat to Kang Dong-Kyun and 76 other villagers, peace activists and civil society organizations for blocking the naval base construction. It specifies the following: (1) These 77 individuals are banned from getting into the public waters or land near the Joongduk coastline where the naval base will be constructed. (2) The notice bans the staff and volunteers from five civil society organizations *Peace-Life Association, Jeju Environmental Association, SPARK, Frontiers, and Gangjeong Village Association* from entering the public waters and land near the naval base site. (3) All facilities from the resistance site must be removed within seven days. (4) In the case that the facilities are not removed, the Navy and Minister of Justice will charge the village leader Mr. Kang for removing these facilities. (5) The village leader Mr. Kang will be responsible for paying the Navy 5,000,000 Won ($5,000 US dollars) for each case of violation. The South Korean military is trying to quash the resistance by arresting its leaders and inciting fear among villagers who are fighting for their land, community and livelihoods. As one of activist wrote, *I feel the martial law atmosphere here.* The truth is: the villagers and their leaders are not alone. There is a growing tide of people from throughout the Korean peninsula and around the world who are standing beside them. We must let them know we are backing them by spreading this information*far and wide* and quick. *Here is what you can do to help the peaceful resistance: * 1) Please forward this to the media and as many people as possible. 2) Sign the petition <http://signon.org/sign/save-jeju-island-no-naval> urging South Korean President Lee to stop construction of the military base! After signing please share the petition with your social network. 3) Send link to network, friends and family: http://signon.org/sign/save-jeju-island-no-naval?source=s.em.cr&r_by=393253 4) Call the Korean Embassy in your country and let them know that Jeju does not want a naval base! 5) If you live in the United States: * Please call the South Korean Embassy in Washington, DC ASAP and let them know the repression against the villagers conveys to the world that *South Korea has returned to the era of authoritarian rule*.

[email protected]. 7) Write the representative to the UN Human Rights Council at [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> about how the naval base construction is violating the human rights of Gangjeong villagers and protesters, such as Sung-hee Choi, who faces up to five years in prison for her nonviolent resistance. 8) Visit www.savejejuisland.org and join the facebook page for quick updates in Gangjeong http://www.facebook.com/groups/Saveprofyang?ap=1. 9) Stay updated on the resistance by joining the "Save Jeju" facebook <http://www.facebook.com/groups/Saveprofyang?ap=1> page. 10) Spread the word about the inspiring resistance in Jeju!
