Come and learn about the iron-fist determination of the peaceful villagers, mostly elderly rice farmers in their 60s and 70s, who have waged four years of resistance against the US military base expansion to protect their land, community and way of life. The aim of the speaking tour is to inform U.S. progressive communities about the critical situation in Pyeongtaek and the dangerous U.S. military strategy in NE Asia as a step towards building a U.S. network in solidarity with the people of Pyeongtaek.



About the Pyeongtaek Struggle:

On May 4, 2006 the subservient S. Korean government sent in over 15,000 military/riot police to the villages of Pyeongtaek and brutally attacked these farmers. Over 500 local farmers and activists were injured and 524 were arrested (www.saveptfarmers.org). In order to make Pyeongteak a U.S. forwarding station in East Asia, the South Korean government has forcibly evicted the farmers who have been living there for generations. Pyeongtaek is strategically located to contain or attack China. Under the post 9/11, new U.S. military plan for global dominance, the Korean Peninsula has become hostage to U.S. military aggression against other countries in NE Asia. The U.S.?s unilateral hegemonic policy threatens establishment of peace on the Korean Peninsula as well as the entire NE Asia region.
