The
International Prayer Council along with
Robert Park, a missionary and human
rights activist, and other Korean
friends and colleagues are involved in
an international prayer and public
protest movement to see change in North
Korea where millions have died at the
hands of the genocidal regime there. I
am attaching some information about a
demonstration with prayer and fasting
being organized for major cities that
will mark the 67th anniversary of the
liberation of Auschwitz concentration
camp, this January 27th. Would you be
willing to help mobilize others in your
city or nation who could take part for
an hour of prayer with protest in a
public place on that day, hopefully with
someone from the press there to report
on it?
If there is
North Korean representation in your
nation, the Korean organizers who took
part in the Prayer Initiative for North
Korea in September are especially asking
if you or someone else could organize a
fasting, prayer and protest gathering in
front of the North Korean and/or Chinese
Embassy or other diplomatic office they
maintain there, most likely in your
capital city. (China has been complicit
in supporting the regime that is guilty
of such mass atrocities and the killing
of refugees who escape to China only to
be sent back to certain imprisonment and
death.) It is both a prayer and justice
issue of the highest order.
Death camps as
in World War II are what is going on
right now in NK in a massive and
increasing way where hundreds of
thousands are now detained for slave
labor with very little if any food,
experimentation for biological and
chemical weapons or summary execution. Many
of them are our brothers and sisters in
Christ. To follow the Lord can be a
death sentence out right or having three
generations of your family sentenced to
such atrocities in the prison camps.
Please see the attached written and
video material including the video
of the German doctor, Norbert Vollertsen,
who served inside NK and is now
protesting the genocidal treatment of
the people by the regime along with
Robert Park who was imprisoned and
tortured there last year. I know both of
them, and they are outstanding men with
a passion to see NK liberated.
Could you
please participate yourself and get word
to others about this for their prayerful
participation? If you are able and
willing to help take a leading role, it
would make a big difference. I know this
is rather late notice, but anything you
can do to pray and act would be
appreciated deeply.
Best regards
in Christ,
John Robb
GENOCIDE and POLITICIDE ALERT: NORTH
KOREA - http://www.genocidewatch.org/northkorea.html

genocide has been committed and mass

For Immediate Release
January 27th, 2012 - Worldwide General
Strike and Call to Mass Demonstrations
for North Korean Liberation and Human
Rights
Seoul, Dec. 27, 2011 -- January 27th
marks the 67th anniversary of the
liberation of Auschwitz concentration
camp, the largest Nazi death camp where
an estimated 1.1 million innocent men,
women and children were killed by the
Nazis during the Holocaust. In 2005, the
United Nations General Assembly
designated this date as an annual
international day of commemoration to
remember the victims of Nazism and the
sacred promise of "Never Again". (For
more information on the important
meaning and significance of this date,
read: http://www.un.org/en/holocaustremembrance/ ).
The Worldwide Coalition to Stop Genocide
in North Korea, a nonpartisan coalition
consisting of human rights activists and
groups from around the world, is calling
for an international general strike on
this date to protest against genocide
and crimes against humanity in North
Korea.
Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity in
North Korea
The Democratic People's Republic of
Korea (DPRK, North Korea) runs a network
of concentration camps where an
estimated 1 million innocents have been
murdered in silence and 250,000
political prisoners, one-third of them
children, are currently being forced to
perform slave labor on starvation
rations, are subject to systematic rape
and torture, biological and chemical
weapon experimentation, and summary
execution.
North Korea is actively targeting for
destruction every group protected under
the U.N. Genocide Convention, through
its decades-long policy of killing the
half-Chinese babies of North Korean
women forcibly repatriated by China
(constituting genocide on national,
ethnical and racial grounds), and its
systematic annihilation of its
indigenous religious population and
their families (genocide on religious
grounds). The regime's treatment of
political prisoners and its exploitative
and discriminatory food policy which is
responsible for the deaths of several
million North Koreans constitutes crimes
against humanity as defined in the Rome
Statute of the International Criminal
Court.
At the historic UN World Summit in 2005,
heads of state and government leaders
from around the world committed to
protect populations from genocide, war
crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes
against humanity. According to the
Responsibility to Protect principle, the
world has a duty to intervene to stop
mass atrocity crimes first by
'appropriate diplomatic, humanitarian,
and other peaceful means' and then by
force, if necessary.
North Korea, as a genocidaire of the
first order, is in the category of state
perpetrator and is manifestly
demonstrating this failure to protect.
It is high time for the international
community to act in North Korea.
LETTER
OF DEMANDS TO THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY:
To the Leaders of Korea, America, China,
Russia, Japan, the United Nations and
the Entire International Community,
We Refuse to Allow the North Korean
Genocide to Continue Any Longer. Over
4,000,000 Innocent North Koreans have
been Murdered through Starvation by the
DPRK regime since 1995, and an estimated
1,000,000 North Koreans have been
Murdered as a result of Slave Labor,
Rape, Torture, Starvation and Execution
in North Korea's Political Concentration
Camps. The Very Existence of these
Concentration Camps makes the North
Korean State Illegal, Illegitimate, and
Criminal, and Demands the Immediate
Intervention of the International
Community.
Our Demands, based upon the foundation
of International Law and the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights are as
follows:
1) The Immediate and Total Liberation of
All North Korean Political Concentration
Camps
2) Compensation and Re-imbursement to
All North Korean Victims of Slavery,
Starvation, Torture, All Concentration
Camp Survivors and Their Families for
Immeasurable Loss and Suffering
3) The Immediate Stepping Down from
Power of the DPRK Leadership
4) Prosecution of Kim Yong-nam, Chang
Sung-taek and All Individuals
Responsible for Commissioning or
Carrying Out Acts of Genocide and Crimes
Against Humanity
5) Through the Guidance and Oversight of
a Coalition of North Korean Refugee
Leaders and Human Rights Activists, in
Partnership with the Republic of Korea
and the International Community, WE
DEMAND THE LIBERATION AND REBUILDING OF
NORTH KOREA BASED UPON THE FOUNDATION OF
ENSURING AND GUARANTEEING WITHOUT FAIL
THE HUMAN RIGHTS AND SAFETY OF EVERY
NORTH KOREAN INDIVIDUAL ACCORDING TO THE
UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
AND INTERNATIONAL LAW, WHICH WAS
COMPOSED TO PREVENT THE ATROCITIES OF
NAZI GERMANY FROM EVER OCCURRING AGAIN.
WE, THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, HAVE
ALL FAILED TO KEEP OUR PROMISE AND
UPHOLD INTERNATIONAL LAW, AND MOST
MISERABLY IN THE CASE OF NORTH KOREA.
