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
