PSPD
Two actions with the slogan “Welfare, not warfare! Save Jeju Island!” were organized:
– 11.30am at the gate of the Ministry of Defense
– 1pm at Noleeteo park, near Hongik University (a popular place for young people)
Participants held a press conference with a performance comparing and
contrasting two facts: on the one hand the 14 trillion won for weapon
purchase, and on the other hand the human needs (tuition, free school
meal, free childcare, welfare for soldiers who had to serve military
service).
This press conference was followed by a singing and dancing campaign for “No Jeju naval base in Gangjeoing”.
It was great and exciting performance and experience since “ordinary people” as well as peace activists joined the event.
