  • Yoon Seok-yeol must accept the National Assembly’s resolution demanding the lifting of emergency martial law, and Yoon Seok-yeol must resign!

    President Yoon Seok yeol declared emergency martial law. His proclamation to eliminate those who disagree with him by naming them as anti-state forces shows his ignorance of democracy. Just as war divides people into allies and enemies, and sets up people who are different as targets that must be killed, Yoon Seok-yeol is attempting to provoke a war that frames citizens as enemies.

    The main culprit who has brought about this situation in which we have to shout “abolish martial law, bring down the dictatorship” in 2024, and who has trampled on the democracy that countless people have struggled to advance with their blood, sweat, and tears is not the “anti-state forces” as President Yoon Seok-yeol said, but Yoon Seok- yeol himself. Yoon must stop his grave crime of destroying the constitutional order, he must immediately accept the National Assembly’s resolution demanding the lifting of martial law, and he must take responsibility and resign immediately!

    the pre-dawn of December 4, 2024

    Gangjeong Peace Network, Association of Gangjeong Villagers Against the Jeju Navy Base, and individuals condemning Yoon Seok-yeol’s declaration of emergency martial law and demanding the resignation of Yoon Seok-yeol
