SUMMARY:Remembering Otto: A Conversation with Cindy Warmbier
DESCRIPTION:Description: \nThe Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (HRNK) cordially invites you to: \nRemembering Otto:\nA Conversation with Cindy Warmbier \nFriday\, June 19\, 2020\n11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. \nDear Friend of HRNK\, \nWe wish to invite you to join us for a Zoom conversation with Mrs. Cindy Warmbier\, mother of Otto Warmbier. HRNK Executive Director Greg Scarlatoiu will moderate a virtual meeting with Mrs. Warmbier\, to be held from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Friday\, June 19th\, the day we commemorate three years since the tragic passing of Otto at the hands of the Kim regime. \nOtto Warmbier\, a bright\, handsome\, and talented 22-year-old Ohio native and University of Virginia student\, passed away on June 19th\, 2017\, from injuries suffered while detained on fabricated charges in North Korea. \nThe Kim regime imprisoned and killed Otto. Ever since their beloved son was taken away from them\, Cindy and Fred Warmbier have relentlessly pursued truth and justice for him and for the millions of unknown North Koreans who have been similarly subjected to the brutality of the Kim regime. \nAs the United States and the world are struggling to cope with unprecedented challenges\, we hope you can join Mrs. Warmbier and HRNK in this celebration of Otto’s life and legacy. \nPlease confirm your participation by emailing your RSVP directly to Rosa Park\, HRNK’s Director of Programs: rosapark@hrnk.org. Once we receive your RSVP\, we will send you Zoom credentials. \nSincerely yours\, \nThe HRNK Team

SUMMARY:Human Rights in North Korea: Regaining Lost Ground
DESCRIPTION:The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea (HRNK)\, The Office of the Korea Chair at CSIS\, and the George W. Bush Institute cordially invite you to: \nHuman Rights in North Korea: Regaining Lost Ground \nfeaturing  \nAmb. Robert King\nBoard Member\, The Committee for Human Rights in North Korea\nSenior Adviser\, CSIS Korea Chair\nFormer Special Envoy for North Korean Human Rights Issue \nDr. Victor Cha\nSenior Advisor and Korea Chair\, CSIS\nVice Dean for Faculty and Graduate Affairs and\nD.S.-Song – KF Professor of Government\, Georgetown University\nFellow in Human Freedom\, George W.

Bush Institute \nMr. Greg Scarlatoiu\nExecutive Director\,\nThe Committee for Human Rights in North Korea \nMore speakers to be announced. \nIn the past three years\, the momentum to bring human dignity to the citizens of North Korea has lost ground. In 2018\, the UN Security Council failed to renew a debate on North Korean human rights abuses in its chambers for the first time since the release of the 2012 Report of the Commission of Inquiry (COI) on Human Rights in North Korea. To galvanize momentum on human rights issues and to promote discussions of concrete and actionable policy recommendations with a focus on creating change\, current and former government officials\, scholars\, and experts will address developments after the UN COI\, explore the nexus of human rights and denuclearization\, hear the stories of North Korean refugees\, and present new research in the area of human rights. \nThis event will be co-hosted with CSIS and the George W. Bush Institute.

SUMMARY:North Korea's Organization and Guidance Department: The Control Tower of Human Rights Denial
DESCRIPTION:North Korea is the world’s most repressive state — and the Organization and Guidance Department (OGD) is the key apparatus in Pyongyang’s administration of tyranny. The OGD may be little known in the United States\, but\, according to North Korean defector Jang Jin-sung\, it is “the only entity that actually matters when it comes to decision-making or policy-making” in the Kim family regime. What exactly is the OGD\, how does it operate\, and why do North Korea watchers\, American policymakers\, and human rights activists need to know about it? \nRobert M. Collins lifts the veil on this ominous apparatus in the Committee for Human Rights in North Korea’s new report “Organization and Guidance Department: Control Tower of Human Rights Denial.” Please join AEI’s Nicholas Eberstadt for a panel discussion on the report and the latest research about the OGD. \nAgenda\n1:45 PM\nRegistration \n2:00 PM\nWelcome:\nNicholas Eberstadt\, AEI \n2:05 PM\nIntroductory remarks:\nGreg Scarlatiou\, Committee for Human Rights in North Korea \n2:15 PM\nRemarks:\nRobert M.

Scarlatoiu gave a Korean language presentation about HRNK’s history and current activities and provided comments on the history and current state of U.S. and South Korean policy on North Korean human rights as well as current challenges at the UN. His comment that South Korea’s current policy on North Korean human rights was not clear was picked up by the Donga Daily in an article dedicated exclusively to Scarlatoiu’s remarks. The Donga Daily also reported on Scarlatoiu’s urging the South Korean government to resume support for North Korean human rights organization\, as most of them can now only rely on US support as their only remaining lifeline. The Donga Daily article is available through the following link: \nhttp://www.donga.com/news/article/all/20190729/96750031/1

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.
