    Protest Against South Korea And US Military Forces Joint Exercise In Seoul

    Protest Against South Korea And US Military Forces Joint Exercise In Seoul

    Members of the ''One Korea'' advocacy group are holding a press conference outside the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, on March 4, 2024, wielding banners and signs that demand the cessation of the Freedom Shield, a joint U.S.-South Korean military drill scheduled through March 14th. Their banners decry the potential for conflict, stating, ''This could lead to war! Stop Freedom Shield!'' The activists are arguing that the drills, seen as nullifying the September 19 Military Agreement, signal the resumption of military exercises in border areas and are anticipating an escalation in the distribution of anti-North Korea leaflets, thereby increasing the risk of clashes in the border regions. Furthermore, they have formed the ''Peace Crisis Paju Emergency Action,'' a coalition of civic groups and residents from Paju, committed to surveilling leaflet dissemination efforts.

      Protest Against South Korea And US Military Forces Joint Exercise In Seoul

      Members of the ''One Korea'' advocacy group are holding a press conference outside the U.S. Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, on March 4, 2024, displaying banners and signs that demand an end to the Freedom Shield, a joint U.S.-South Korean military drill that is scheduled to continue through March 14th. Their banners express concerns about the potential for conflict, with messages like ''This could lead to war! Stop Freedom Shield!'' The activists are arguing that the drills, which they view as a violation of the September 19 Military Agreement, signal a restart of military exercises in border areas and are likely to lead to an increase in the distribution of anti-North Korea leaflets, thus raising the risk of clashes in the border regions. Additionally, they have established the ''Peace Crisis Paju Emergency Action,'' a coalition of civic groups and residents from Paju, who are committed to monitoring leaflet distribution activities.
