DESCRIPTION:
Sept. 13,2006?After the brutal police violence in May that cut off access to the Pyeongtaek farmlands and injured more than 500 people, the South Korean government again sent 22,000 riot police, 450 contracted construction workers and thugs to begin bulldozing homes in the Daechuri and Doduri Villages. Police demolition equipment wiped out 68 of the 90 houses that the Korean Ministry of Defense had threatened to destroy, but villagers successfully defended remaining houses by chaining themselves to the roofs. The Ministry of Defense had promised to only destroy empty houses but several occupied and renovated houses, as well as one long-term resident's house, were knocked down. Many outside supporters were kept from entering the village by tight police checkpoints,,,(More details: www.antigizi.or.kr/zboard/view.php?id=english_news&no=134)



We are calling all communities to stand in solidarity with the Pyeongtaek farmers to STOP the Forced Eviction and the Planned Expansion of the U.S. Military Base in Pyeongtaek! The Strategic flexibility of the U.S. Forces in Korea is part of the Global Posture Review of the U.S. to dominate the world. Pyeongtatek farmers are mobilizing 100,000 peace defenders around the world for the upcoming international peace march on September 24. As part of the U.S. solidarity actions the Koreans Against War and Neoliberalism (KAWAN) - Pyeongtaek US Committee is organizing events in various cities throughout the U.S. (TBA).



SOLIDARITY ACTION IN LOS ANGELES:



ACTION on INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE



THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2006 @ 10:30am



Sam-Bo-Il-Bae (3 steps/1 bow: Buddhist prayer) for over 1 mile.



What is Sam-bo-il-bae?



Sam-bo-il-bae is rooted in a buddhist prayer tradition where you humble yourself to the ground, the dirt, the cruelties of the world to create change in yourself and the world. It is a sacred physical prayer that connects you to heaven, earth and the people. Sam-bo-il-bae has been used in Korea as a form of peaceful protest but also spiritual awakening for the general publice of issues of moral concern.
