Upcoming Events: “The Defector” Screenings, and EAHR’s online round table
I’D PREVIOUSLY POSTED ABOUT two new documentaries about how the real North Korea — the one behind the facade — is changing. One of these, The Defector, will be screened this week at two separate events in Washington. If you’re in the area, I hope you can make it.
I OWE AN APOLOGY to the European Alliance for Human Rights in North Korea, which asked me to post about their online seminar on advocating for human rights in North Korea, and which I then completely forgot to do. Fortunately, their previous December 2nd event is on YouTube, and a second seminar is coming up next week.
No apologies are necessary. I appreciate the help.
Amnesty International says that North Korea’s labor camps are expanding. AI commissioned images from DigitalGlobe, and some are shown in Paul Armstrong’s report at CNN. Rajiv Narayan urges the authorities to release prisoners of conscience and close the camps. AI has also released witness testimony. It has shared its evidence with the UN commission of inquiry. Here’s AI’s own news report.
