ANOUNCEMENT

ReACH (Rescuing Abductees Center for Hope) and C.H.N.K. (Citizen’s

Coalition for Human Right of Abductees and North Korean Refugees) are

jointly appealing to the world to free all the abductees held in North Korea

by calling the names of all the abductees held in North Korea, more than

80,000 in all, starting at noon on Saturday, September 1 at Lafayette Park

in front of the White House. We will call their names day and night, rain or

shine, non-stop. We estimate it will take about four full days to finish all

the names.

 

“We are going to call the names of all the abductees held in North Korea.

More than 80,000 of them in all. We will call their names in alphabetical

order based on their country of origin, though we will not mention the

country names themselves. Whatever country he or she belongs to, every

single abductee is as important as everyone else. One name represents one

life.”

We are asking for volunteers to help call out these names. The more people

who can help, the more we can spread the word.

 

If you want to be a part of this appeal, please contact Ms. Akemi Maeshima

at maeshima@asanocpa.com. Please tell us in advance your availability (time

and date) and your telephone number (cell is preferable), so that we can

coordinate sleep and rest schedules.

 

Also, we are looking for information about places for bathrooms and naps

near Lafayette Park. If you have any ideas, please let us know.
