NEW
ZEALAND

Kati Rocket Lab in New Zealand was sold to the indigenous people whose land it is on as a purely civilian facility and launch site. Lockheed Martin Corporation now runs Rocket Lab and the peace community in that nation is protesting this betrayal as military technology is now hoisted from the launch site.

JEJU ISLANDS. KOREA

Jeju Island in South Korea now has an offshore rocket launch site in its traditional fishing waters. The vigorous resistance and peace community there is seen protesting the initial rocket launch of a military satellite.

Translation of the large yellow banner:

Call off the rocket launch which will be a disaster for Jeju!

Deprivation of the right to live! Destruction of the environment! Aggravation of climate disaster! Increase in militarization!

Hosted by those who oppose war & the militarization of Jeju
