The Women’s Media Center Exclusive Provides Answers
Like many of you, I am sure, I kept wondering as I read about the American journalists who were arrested by North Korea, tried, sentenced and finally released, what prompted these two women to leave their families (especially a young child) to venture to the Korean peninsula to follow a story. What was the story they were pursuing?
In all the coverage of their chilling circumstances I found no answer to that question. Until this week when I read the dramatic, detailed, and well documented background report by another courageous woman, Ji-Yeon Yuh a Korean American scholar, writer, and activist who is also working to uncover underground criminal human trafficking operations.
Ji-Yeon Yuh’s article “What Were Laura Ling and Euna Lee Looking For in North Korea?” is on The Women’s Media Center website. Read it and be informed.
