Folks in the States can’t make Dr. Norbert Vollertsen’s lecture tonight, but they have pletty they can do.
This is North Korean Freedom Week in DC (sponsored by the North Korea Freedom Coalition) (April 23-26).
Get the full schedule over at One Free Korea.
While I am on the subject, I just want to know what kind of twisted (person) is running the US Consulate in Shenyang? Here is testimony from Adrian Hong (who was arrested in China while trying to help North Korean refugees escape):
Upon arrival in Shenyang, I notified the authorities at the Consulate of our identities and intentions, to seek asylum and protection for these NK refugees. I took extensive measures, as always, to remain discrete, speaking over safe phone lines and using words and phrases that would signal our situation to educated Consular staff, but not to an eavesdropper. As the group waited a few hundred feet from the main gate of the US Consulate, in view of the United States flag and gates, I was told that someone would call me back.
A while later I received a call from a gentleman who identified himself as a member of the US Consulate. He referred to me by name, and said that they could not accept us, and that they suggested for us to “take the North Korean refugees and go to the UNHCR in Beijing.” It goes without mention that US posts are subject to intense electronic surveillance, and sure enough, a short while later large numbers of Chinese authorities and police began to show up in the vicinity of our location.
