LiNK Will Open a Permanent Office in Washington

This was in my in-box from Adrian Hong today. I quote from his press release:

“The opening of this office signifies the maturity of LiNK into a credible, serious organization, ready to take the next step and engage in a more consistent, forceful activism,” said Adrian Hong.

The new office will have four full-time staff members, and constitute the first full-time office devoted solely to North Korean human rights outside of Seoul, Korea. It will also boast significant support by a staff of a dozen volunteers and interns. The office location will also facilitate LiNK’s greater engagement in dialogue on the North Korea issue in Washington.

I’d add that Adrian needs about 100 grand to pay rent and staff, who are essentially putting their lives on hold for a worthy cause. If any of you out there happen to be loaded with a few extra dollars you’d like to put to excellent use, I hope you’ll give LiNK a shout.

And as I’ve already told Adrian privately . . . I liked “Liberation” a lot more than “Liberty,” but hey . . . .
