‘Fr. William “Bix” Bichsel, S.J. spent about two weeks on Jeju Island, South Korea recently (late September through early October). It was a transformative experience for the 85 year old Jesuit. In this interview,  Bix speaks passionately about the struggle by the people of Jeju Island to stop construction of the massive naval base that is unnecessary from a military perspective, and will only serve to increase tensions in the region.’ (Bruce Gagnon blog, Oct. 22, 2013)

Leonard Eiger says the video interview was done the morning after Bix (and 5 fellow nuclear resisters) had been tried and found guilty of trespassing (in nonviolent resistance to nuclear weapons) at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor, which has the largest concentration of operational nuclear weapons (probably anywhere in the world).  Please see here.
