来自韩国星州的数千民众齐聚首尔抗议政府在其家乡星州部署美国反导弹防御系统(THAAD萨德)的决定。

Thousands of South Koreans from Seongju county gathered in Seoul to protest against the government’s decision to deploy a U.S.-built THAAD missile defense unit in their home town.

“The way that the government made the decision completely on their own, without talking to residents first, is completely wrong. We are here to express the people’s anger living in Seongju,” said protest organiser Seok Hyeon-Cheol.

“The missile deployment site is right in the middle of a city that has around 20,000 people.  I can see it when I open the door of my house, the door of my house! And I can see it from my living room. That is why we strongly oppose the THAAD deployment. We oppose it for our children, and their children—for the future of our county, for our health, and our right to live,” said Kim An-Su, a protester from Seongju County.

The protest follows a raucous standoff last week between residents and the country’s prime minister, Hwang Kyo-ahn, who was pelted with eggs and plastic bottles and trapped inside a bus for several hours when he visited the county to explain his decision to deploy the missile system there. 

South Korean President Park Geun Hye has called for people to support the government’s plans. She said the move was “inevitable” because of a growing threat from the DPRK. South Korea’s defense ministry says the country’s THAAD missile system will become operational before the end of 2017.
