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!

Chosun Monthly magazine [Korean language]

Chosun Monthly Magazine has made an announcement (in Korean) about the Seoul Honorary Citizenship award that I received on December 9, 2022. Our Korean staffers say that the magazine is a big deal in South Korea. Here's the overall roundup of media about the award. In the next two months, I have extended interviews coming up in two different magazines, one in the USA and one in South Korea. Both articles will be in respected publications so they should raise awareness of FSI's work that your support makes possible. * * * Support FSI via Stripe or PayPal . https://donate.stripe.com/3cs28F5IAcc85IAaEF or PayPal .

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...
