Vigils Called for June 3 in Support of Ling and Lee
The Facebook page for Laura Ling and Euna Lee (which Lisa Ling has now taken over as administrator) is calling for vigils to take place everywhere on June 3, U.S. time, which is June 4 in North Korea – the date of the scheduled trials for Ling and Lee.
So far, vigil locations include Washington, D.C.; New York, NY; Birmingham, AL; Portland, OR; San Francisco and L.A., CA.
Organizers are also asking for help from willing volunteers. Contact information is posted on the group’s Facebook page linked above.
By setting the trial for June 4th, the North Koreans are doing their ChiCom friends a favor. The idea is to push the 10th Anniversary of the Tienanmen Massacre out of the headlines. That doesn’t sound like a good thing for Ms. Ling or Ms. Lee.
