First, please
digg this post, and please tell your friends to do the same.
For those who don’t know why this issue needs more attention — including yours — please read
this,
this, and
this.
I’m going to keep this post at the top of the page for the rest of the week. I’ll update these events if there are any changes, but this year’s events are especially interesting for the amateur Korea scholars out there.
All events are sponsored by the
North Korea Freedom Coalition, a non-sectarian, non-partisan organization (contributions are tax deductible).
For those who want to do something to help, you can, no matter who or where you are, and without spending a penny. Simply e-mail the following locations to demand humane treatment of North Korean refugees by e-mail at the following links:
Your message can be as simple as this, and feel free to cut and paste. Put “North Korean human rights” in the subject line:
Respect international law and give asylum to North Korean refugees. The refugees you return to North Korea will be executed or sent to die in concentration camps. They are fleeing because they fear political persecution, and because the North Korean government is refusing international food aid, spending its money on weapons, and starving them.
And let’s not forget these, either:
If you do e-mail the White House, I strongly recommend e-mailing the Vice President’s office, too, since that one is more likely to be read.
Be sure to mention the North Korean refugees
our own Shenyang Consulate turned away in violation of federal law.
