It is deplorable that the mayor of Puan Country, North Cholla Province, was assaulted by a band of residents protesting the government¡¯s plan to build a nuclear waste storage facility on Wido, a small island under that is part of the county. County chief Kim Jong-gyu has been the target of criticism from residents and environmental and student activists opposed to the stateproject for submitting the tiny island as the sole candidate site for the facility. He was attacked by several from a group of a 1,000 people who waited for him in front of the main shrine of a Buddhist temple he visited to solicit support from the county¡¯s Buddhist community for thecontroversial project.
