题目内容:
Political activists from South Korea gathered signatures of people on Saturday to prevent the push to deploy(部署) a U.S. missile shield - Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD萨德) in their country.
At the Gwanghwamun square in central Seoul (首尔), where the people ever lit candles to force former President Park Geun-hye out of office, the campaign was carried out to urge lawmakers to stop the hurried push for THAAD deployment.
On March 6, some equipment of the THAAD was flown to a U.S. military(军事的) base south of Seoul. One THAAD battery consists of complicated fire and control units and some other equipment. Local broadcasting station KBS reported that the AN/TPY-2 radar(雷达)was supposed to be delivered to South Korea on March 16, but it was not confirmed as the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) refused to tell the arrival of other THAAD equipment.
The hurry deployment "is illegal and against the law," said a person who refused to tell his name. She said their advice would be presented next week to the leaders of major political parties. The campaign started online a week ago, and it had already collected around 5,000 signatures. They are targeting 10,000 signatures to be gathered. The organizing groups would call on the government to stop all deployment procedures. The Seoul-Washington agreement to put one THAAD battery was announced in July last year without any parliamentary(国会的)approval and public consensus.
"Lawmakers must stop telling. They must act," said the activist. They claimed the THAAD plan lacked the people's agreement and is against people's rights to peaceful, healthy life and environmental protection, which are guaranteed by the law. The Gwanghwamun square was packed with people holding cards that read "Opposition to THAAD." Residents made their way to the capital city and chanted the famous slogan "THAAD Out, Peace In." Some put a flag with anti-THAAD slogan over their shoulders, while children held a blue, rubber balloon that was stamped with anti-THAAD slogan.
In addition to opposition at home, China and Russia have strongly opposed THAAD in South Korea as it can spy on their countries, thus damaging security of the two countries.
Under the Seoul-Washington agreement, THAAD in South Korea will be operated by the USFK. Seoul has claimed the X-band radar is only aimed at the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) threats, but South Korea's military has no right to be engaged in the operation.
