[Oct. 6 night to Oct. 7 morning, Gangjeong] People slept on the street due to an illegal giant truck of Daelim construction company/ Caisson dock and barge has
been on the sea.
Around 9pm,
Sept. 6 when people were working on making pickets, a giant truck was to enter
the construction (destruction) site, passing the Kosa mart four-way
intersection, the center of the village. While people were sorry to hear that there was already another truck
before it, people, capturing the 2nd truck, kept it all night, daring to sleep on the street of cold
October night.
Before that,
villagers burst out with fury. The Daelim, one of the main construction
companies has written a memo to them in November, last year that it would not
send construction trucks through the four-way intersection where car size and speed is greatly limited. However, the truck driver who introduced himself to be from Gwangyang, Jeolla province and it was his first
visit to Gnagjeong, was to pass the street last night, without having been informed on it.
Looking at the materials loaded
in the truck, they were giant frames that might be used in the caisson
productions. The villagers have already been infuriated to hear that
construction (destruction) has been ongoing even in the night and dawn, after the
fall harvest holidays. Still the police pretending to hear their righteous
protest words, stealthily took photos of them. Because of that, there were shuffles.
From the
port, news was sent that the construction companies were noisly working on
barge and caisson dock on the Gangjeong Sea. It was a Saturday night again.
Despite cold
weather and tiredness, many people kept the field of street. Many people
brought blankets for the people sleeping on the street.
The truck is
being covered with people’s pickets and flags.. It is Sunday morning here and we don’t know yet
what would happen. Here is
Gangjeong.
Please understand for bad qualities of photos.

In the cold night of October, people slept on the street to block a giant truck with their bodies. Please look at the letter that reads, “children,’ on the street, which means the street is never for giant trucks and speedy cars.

An improvisational fire stove~

Pickets that been made timely were mobilized to cover the captured truck: 'No zone for construction vehicles,' 'no zone for police roughing out,' ' no zone for police and construction vehicles.'

'Your concrete buries our future.'


Daelim memo in Nov., 2011: It reads its vehicles would never illegally pass the four-way intersection where there is an elementary school and the road is narrow.

Scene around 6:30 am, Oct. 7, Sunday.



Pickets that have been made in the Peace Center since the late afternoon of Oct. 6.
