We, the under signed, protest the development of thehigh voltage power transmissiontower by Korea Electric Power Corporation in theMil-Yang area in Kyung Sang South Province, south Korea.
Continuing the construction with physical force against the villagers’ protest is a serious violation ofhuman rights.
Plans totransmit electricity generated from New Kori Nuclear Power Plant are extremely dangerous andthreaten the future livelihood of all human beings.To build this high powered voltage transmission towers in the name of development is destruction of natural environment.
Therefore we strongly support the villagers of Mil-Yangwho are struggling to protect their ways of living harmoniously with nature, and demand Korea Electric Power Corporation and south Korean Ministry of Knowledge Economy, who are oppressing the human rights of innocent villagers, under the disguise of public benefit development to;
1.Completely nullify alldevelopment plans of thehigh voltage power transmission tower in Mil-Yang.
2. Protect the villagers'humanand compensate the villagers for the damages that the development has caused.
3.Stop nuclear development and change south Korea'senergy policy to that ofgreen energy.
4. Ensure thatfuture developments do not injure or damage the natural environment.

우리는 한국전력이 경상남도 밀양지역에 강행하고 있는 765kv 고압 송전탑 건설을 적극 반대한다. 주민들의 강렬한 항의에도 불구하고 각종 물리력과 폭력을 행사하여 공사를 강행하는 것은 심각한 인권탄압이다. 또한 신고리 핵발전소에서 생산되는 전력을 공급하기 위해 추진되는 이 사업은 인류의 미래를 위협하는 위험천만한 사업이다. 더불어 고압 송전탑 건설은 개발을 위해 벌이는 자연환경의 명백한 파괴이다.
이에 우리는 삶의 터전과 자연을 지키고자 하는 밀양주민들의 뜻을 적극 지원하며, 국책사업이라는 이유로 선량한 사람들의 권리를 억압하고 자연환경을 파괴하는 한국전력과 한국 지식경제부에 다음과 같이 요구한다.
1. 밀양의 765 kv 고압 송전탑 건설을 전면 백지화하라
2. 주민들의 인권을 보장하고 성실한 대화로 그간의 피해를 보상하라
3. 핵발전을 중단하고 대체에너지 중심의 에너지 정책으로 전환하라
4. 자연환경이 훼손되지 않는 개발을 보장하라

I have been spending my days talking with the grandmothers who refuse to leave their land while the construction crews circle their homes. Their courage keeps me moving forward even when the silence from the ministry becomes deafening. We are documenting every instance of force used against these peaceful residents to show the world exactly what is happening in our fields.
September 5, 2012
Seeing this level of support for our neighbors in Mil-Yang serves as a powerful reminder that we are not fighting alone against these tower projects. The momentum building here is proof that people across the country realize the destruction occurring in our quiet villages is simply wrong.

Nuclear power is not the future. Stop oppressing these villagers and look for real green energy solutions.
How can they just ignore the people living there? These towers are monsters. Stop destroying our land for corporate greed.
Stop the construction now. Those grandmas and grandpas deserve peace in their own homes. Shame on you KEPCO.
its not right to force this on them. listen to the residents for once.
Leave Mil-yang alone. KEPCO needs to find a better way instead of dumping their problems on the villagers.
