LIFE AND DEATH



It’s day 18 of Yang Yoon-Mo's hunger strike while in the Jeju Island jail house (Prison #220). Professor Yang endured more than 70 days of hunger strike last summer. He vows that he will not eat again unless and until the Navy halts construction of the base.

Many fear he will die in jail and he is deeply in the hearts and minds of everyone here. Last night at the end of the day long conference Father Moon made an emotionally charged speech where he challenged everyone to do more to stop this insanity.

We each must find something we can do each day to save Yang's life and the life of the nature and Gangjeong community.
