An Insider's View on North Korea: A Talk with Two Student Refugees

North Korea is one of the least understood places in the world, and its government is perceived to be a major threat in East Asian security due to its possession of nuclear arms. The people of North Korea face great difficulties in human rights, food attainment, and basic freedoms that we take for granted. Two student refugees (ages 19 and 21) will be speaking at Duke University about their experiences living and escaping North Korea, as well as their hopes for the future in South Korea. The event will be followed by a short reception with refreshments, where attendees can speak with them. Additional co-sponsors include: Duke Amnesty International, Duke Vision for North Korea and the Student Organization Funding Committee. Contact: 919 668-2603.
