3 student activists arrested over alleged trespassing at US air base

Three student activists were arrested after attempting to enter the US-controlled K-55 Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, South Korea. Members of the Korean Progressive University Student Union tried to enter the base on Tuesday, with six entering and two stopped at the entrance. US Forces Korea personnel detained the activists and handed them over to local police, where four were later released and one remained in custody. A court approved arrest warrants for three activists but not the fourth. The activists claimed they were protesting US military involvement in a planned semiconductor cluster in Gwangju and a previously reported potential white phosphorus leak, which US authorities later dismissed as non-hazardous surface corrosion. The incident is under investigation under South Korea's Military Bases and Installations Protection Act.
