In the above photo, civic organization activists and U.S. military base specialist David Vine, professor of American University, pray for peace on the coast of Gangjeong Village.

In the second photo, a flag with slogans against the construction of a naval base waves in the wind.

In the third photo, activists wage a protest holding a banner that reads, “Stay Strong Gangjeong, Let’s protect peace!!”

The photo below shows artwork created through a rusted steel plate, crafting a hole in the shape of a warship.

Forcible police suppression appears imminent against residents in Gangjeong Village, Seogwipo, who have spent nearly four years opposing government plans to build a naval base on Jeju Island.
