On the morning of the 22nd, the police began forcibly dismissing the protesters in front of the village hall in Soseong-ri, Chojeon-myeon, Seongju-gun, Gyeongbuk, the entrance of the THAAD (high-altitude missile defense system) base.
From 9:45 am today, the police mobilized more than 600 policemen and began to forcibly disperse 50 residents who were demonstrating on the road in front of the Soseong-ri town hall.
Residents demanded the suspension of construction of the Saad base and withdrawal of construction equipment and materials.
The police said, "Move to the place where you reported the rally and hold the rally," they broadcasted warnings several times, and then went on to disperse the residents sitting on the road in two round trips.
Residents are concerned about collisions against the police by putting themselves in a ladder-shaped structure.
On November 27, last year, the Ministry of Defense said it would improve the living conditions of the soldiers in the Saad base, and tried to bring in construction materials.
