이화 동문 손명희(64)동문 아드님. Kenneth Bae 씨가 tour operator (선교)하러 북한에 갔다가 북한의 특별교화소(교도소), “North Korean Special Labor Camp.” 억류되어 있다는 슬프고 안타까운 소식이에요.
Kenneth Bae 씨 석방을 위해 백악관에 petition을 보내는 준비를 하고 있어요. 우리 이화 가족일이니 동문들의 도움이 필요하고 online으로 만 petition에 sign할 수 있으니 email이 있는 모든 동문들께 forward 하면 좋겠습니다.
It’s important. Here’s the link for signature:
Through his tour company that he started, he was able to show the natural beauty of North Korea to many. He was arrested on November 3, 2012 while working as a tour operator in Rason (Rajin-Sonbong), one of North Korea’s special economic zones for foreign investors. And he has been sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for what the DPRK identified as anti-government activities.
