Walk together to bring Laura and Euna safely home!
Written by Kimmy Lee Sunday, 31 May 2009 09:30
Reporters Laura Ling and Euna Lee will go on trial in North Korea on June 4.
They were captured and detained on March 17, 2009 by North Korean officials
while doing a story about Korean immigrants in China.
As a show of solidarity and support, Candlelight vigils are being held in cities
across the nation on Wednesday June 3 to show the world and the two brave women
that we care and won't stop until they are home safely. The organizers hope
to draw a huge crowd and capture the attention of media outlets to help raise
awareness about the plight of the two.
Organizers, Welly Yang, Kelly Hu and Dina Morishita are organizing the Los Angeles
vigil in Santa Monica. Please make time to join them for this important cause
at 7 PM at Wokano Restaurant in Santa Monica for a walk together to the Promenade.
Please add your friends to this Evite.
