SUMMARY:Korea Club with Gwang-il Jung: Documenting the North Korean Gulag: The Yoduk List
DESCRIPTION:Dear Colleague: \nYou are invited to the Korea Club event on Wednesday\, May 1\, 2019.

He will share his memories of detention and his current work to keep the North Korean human rights situation in focus. Mr. Jung will share complimentary copies of his organization’s report “Yoduk List” with the participants. The report comprises a list of 180 victims of enforced disappearances whom he met while being detained at Camp No. 15. \nJung Gwang-il was a prisoner at No.15 Yodok Political Penal-labor Colony for three years\, from 1999 to 2002.
