Please Take Some Time To Write A Letter To Help Free Ken Noguchi. I just received this from Sin-U Nam, and would like to ask each of you to take some time to write a letter for our friends imprisoned under terrible conditions in Chinese jails for the 'crime' of being human beings with a conscience - helping North Korean refugees flee their prison-land, helping them flee death. Unfortunately, because of the tyrrany of geography, this almost always forces them to go through China, which has one of the worst human rights records on Earth, (besides North Korea). please pass it on. Dear Friends, Please read the following message from Mr. Nakadaira of Life Funds for North Korean Refugees regarding our hero, Mr. Noguchi in China. Please send the e-mail as requested and... [Free North Korea!]
