At the Oslo Freedom Forum held recently, activist and North Korean defector Ji Seon-ho described his adventure toward freedom.
Being disabled (by an accident when he was trying to gather coal for family), he was never taken any care of by the government. On the contrary, he was often discriminated, alienated and even threatened, for "being a shame for the country".
Currently he has settled in South Korea after escaping through Tuman river and walked for 6200 miles throughout South East Asia. He seeks to rescue the lives of his fellow nations.
He has set up an organization NAUH and hopes that one day no one will live in shame anymore regardless of any conditions.
He stated that “Freedom isn’t something given by the government . It is a God-given right."
The purpose of this blog is to help raise awareness toward severe human rights crisis of North Koreans and North Korean refugees.
I hope more people in the world look into human rights situation in North Korea as well as North Korean refugees in the Unites States who need financial and mental support for their successful resettlement in the USA.
