Subject: Please Mark your Calendars for North Korea Freedom Week April 22-30, 2006

Dear Friends:

Please mark your calendar for the dates of April 22-30, 2006 for North Korea Freedom Week for events we will be planning to support freedom and human rights for the North Korean people in the Capital of the Free World, Washington, D.C. In addition to a major rally on Capitol Hill April 28 for the anniversary of North Korea Freedom Day, an all night prayer vigil at the Embassy of China, and the continuing World Tour of the North Korea Genocide Exhibit, we plan to host the largest delegation of North Korean defectors ever to visit the USA and are working with other NGOs to sponsor activities throughout the week.

As always, events will be open to the public and everyone is invited to participate. We promise to make the week worthwhile for anyone traveling to Washington, D.C. for these events. So far, these major events are confirmed, and we will advise as more special programs and activities are confirmed:
