KAC-DC Presents..

“Perspectives on North Korea”

Come learn about and discuss the issue of North Korea and its many facets from people directly involved in the issues.

Wednesday January 17, 2007 @ 6:30 PM

Cannon 121 House Office Building in the Capitol Building

(surrounded by First St SE and Independence Ave.)

The issue of North Korea is everywhere - whether through mainstream news outlets or late night comedy sketch routines.

And yet, the issue of human rights in North Korea is shrouded from the public eye. Learn about the crisis as well as what you can do to help. What are the six party talks? Who is involved, and what progress has been made?

Can such a small nation be such a large threat to the United States?

The panel will include speakers Adrian Hong, Executive Director of Liberty in North Korea (LiNK), as well as a representative from the Korean Embassy.

To attend please RSVP to rsvp@kacdc.org with your name.

LiNK is an international grassroots movement dedicated to human rights in North Korea and the peaceful resolution of the North Korean crisis. LiNK's objectives are two-pronged. First, it is to press for more education and awareness about the North Korean human rights crisis, and its causes and consequences. Second, it is to take that awareness and use it in action and advocacy to promote real and meaningful progress and resolution to the crisis. Working closely with governments, NGOs, coalitions and activists around the world, LiNK today has close working relationships with groups on the frontlines of human rights activism both in North Korea and China, while also maintaining a number of shelters underground in China for North Korean refugees in hiding.
