Freedom House Will Host Discussion on N. Korean Concentration Camps

Their message:

On May 21, 2007, Freedom House released a new report, Concentrations of Inhumanity.  The report written by Hidden Gulag author, David Hawk, carefully details the criminal acts prohibited by Article 7 of the ( Rome ) Statute of the International Criminal Court which are being carried out in North Korea on a massive scale.  You can download the full report at www.nkfreedomhouse.org.

Freedom House and Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) cordially invite you to a panel discussion to be held on JUNE 6, 2007 at 1:30-3:30pm at the National Press Club in Washington , D.C.    The panel will feature David Hawk and David Scheffer, former US Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues.

RSVP is kindly requested.  More information may be found below and in the attached flyer.  Please feel free to circulate this invitation to other interested parties.

And you’ve seen my posts on Camp 22 and Camp 16 by Google Earth, right?  Yeah, I thought so.  Sorry for mentioning it yet again.

*   More riots in China over the one-child policy.

*   Lee Mung-Bak’s stock is rising with me, albeit from a fairly low price.  Lee’s canal plan is the height of silliness, but you can’t fault Lee for is his political instincts, meaning he thinks he can get votes  by standing up to the North Koreans, and what’s more, he’s certainly done more of that than Park Geun-Hye.  The great irony of 2009  could be role reversal:  a hawkish South Korea and a dovish America.  As I’ve said before, South Korea alienated so many American  conservatives  during Roh’s  term that in the event of a real security crisis, its  best hope for substantial American help  would  be to raise a militia at the Council on Foreign Relations.  Try holding along the Naktong line with that.

*   A fool and his credibility are soon parted.  Chris Hill is sounding increasingly desperate in his efforts to sustain hope in the lousy deal he signed.  Parse his words carefully, if you have the interest, for one grain of substance  to support that hope.

*   Why were all of the North Korean students in Beijing suddenly called home?
