The Chosun Journal - North Korea Human Rights Information and News
Description
About Us
The Chosun Journal is an independent, non-profit site whose agenda is to inform, provoke, and mobilize consciences for human rights in North Korea. We are Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago meets the Drudge Report. As N. Korea's virtual holocaust museum set in real-time, our goal is for the future museum made of brick and stone to commemorate as few victims as possible. The more people know about the human rights atrocities happening in North Korea, the more pressure the world will bring to bear on the Stalinist regime, resulting in less leeway for Kim Jong Il to continue abusing the 21 million N. Korean people with impunity.
Not content with raising awareness, CJ raises funds to rescue N. Korean orphans into safe countries through underground railroads. We network rescuers, refugees, defectors, government officials, intelligentsia, and the media to bring further momentum to the N. Korean human rights movement. We host survivors of N. Korean concentration camps to share their testimonies at college campuses and churches. And we organize protests at Chinese embassies; lobby government bodies to pass bills that assist persecuted N. Korean refugees hiding in China; and petition officials to grant leniency to those that are caught seeking asylum.
Being a reader-driven site, we hope that you will join our efforts by staying informed through our mailing list, by pointing us to any relevant articles or projects, and by following the suggestions under the Get Involved section. If you are new to the issue of N. Korean human rights, some great places to start are with our introduction, briefing manual, and an excellent article by Christopher Hitchens, Newsweek.
