SOUTH KOREA. So Seong Ri village, Seongju. May 13, 2017.
Won Buddhist pilgrims in the village of Seongju.
The U.S. recently transported two THAAD launchers and other parts of the THAAD battery to South Korea. Those at the frontlines of the struggle — the residents of Seongju and Gimcheon and the Won Buddhists — have called on people across South Korea to join them in opposing the THAAD deployment. The residents have been holding weekly protests in Soseong-ri, and Won Buddhist priests have been holding overnight prayer sit-ins on Jinbat Bridge, the only road leading to the deployment site.
