Message from Norbert Vollertsen

Dr. Vollertsen wrote in today to announce that the Citizens’ Alliance for North Korean Human Rights will hold a conference called “North Korean Human Rights and North Korean Refugees: The Key to Get[ting] Rid of North Korean Nukes” at the St. Ignatius House at Sogang University in Seoul from February 14th to 16th.

The event appears to be affiliated with the Sixth International Conference on North Korea Human Rights, about which I blogged here the other day. Vaclav Havel, one of the few human beings on this earth in whom I see no downside whatsoever, will send a “congratulatory” message.

There will also be a demonstration at noon on February 16th. As Norbert describes the event,

North Korean refugees, human rights activists, scholars, officials, politicians and journalists from ten countries including South Korea, US, UK, France and Japan will discuss new strategies regarding North Korea`s nuclear and human rights situation.
