2014-03-16 Planning meeting for rally

I had three meetings on Sunday, which should be my day off...

The key meeting was about the rally for North Korean freedom. We made a couple of big decisions during our three hour meeting that I will be able to announce within a day or two...

Thanks to Lovy Kim in particular for working some magic with her camera so we could all be included. And thanks to Sandra Kim, Yeonmi Park, Taeheun Lee and Lee Eunkoo for their feedback and suggestions. I advertised this widely, but they are the only ones who showed up!

I think I saw Yeonmi every day that week. The following day we recorded our first podcast. https://caseylartigue.blogspot.com/2014/03/17-Casey-Yeonmi.html

Eunkoo had only worked as a researcher, so this kind of street rally was definitely new territory for her.

Update: A South Korean boat ferry in mid-April, about 10 days before the rally was scheduled. Our partners wanted to cancel the rally, so we canceled!

North Korean defector seeks justice (Korea Times)

It was international news when 12 North Korean waitresses and a male manager who worked at a restaurant operated by the North Korean regime in China arrived in South Korea in 2016. The waitresses have mostly maintained a low profile. There have been numerous accusations and assertions, with some saying the waitresses didn't want to escape, some accused the Park Geun-hye administration of playing politics by releasing details of the case, etc., etc., etc. My blog at the Korea Times today features an exclusive interview with one of the former North Korean waitresses who filed a criminal case against the former manager. You can read about it here on the Korea Times website. https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/opinion/2023/02/728_345165.html Keep in mind that there are many more facts to the case and that it is much deeper than this brief excerpt of her comments. She also shared legal documents that I shared with the Korea Times well in advance to give them time to review t...

Is the SOTU over?

Some people asked me if I watched President Biden’s State of the Union. Haha! I have seen enough of them. Not just Biden’s SOTU, but SOTUs by US presidents! Back in 1999, I not only watched President Clinton’s SOTU, but the Cato Institute gave me the task of keeping track of all of President Clinton’s proposals and promises. Since then I have watched few SOTUs, once as a blogger at the invitation of National Public Radio. https://tinyurl.com/3dv5y452
