Protesters being carried away by the police
The entrance to the 50 hectares construction site in the village of Gangjeong is located on a busy main road linking the capital of Jeju to the second biggest city, Seogwipo. On the side of the road, a colorful tent city has been erected with sleeping quarters, a computer tent, a small coffee place, and a lot of banners and artwork. Every hour, about 300 police stationed on a public parking 100 meters away march to the entrance gate. A protester keeping watch gives a signal using a gong and all the protesters (between 20 and 40 on normal days) take position in front of the gate and sit on chairs holding banners or sit on the floor with interlocked arms and feet. It usually takes the police about 20 minutes to clear the way and secure the entry and exit of the trucks.
