2/9/2002 IAC Forum in Los Angeles: Solidarity with the Korean People
An important delegation of South Korean movement leaders has traveled to the United States to expose crimes committed by the U.S. military against the Korean people. The group represents the struggle for justice for two girls killed by a U.S. Army armored vehicle in June 2002. The deaths of Shin Hyo-Soon and Shim Mi-Sun and the heartless response and cover-up have led to an explosive struggle against the U.S. military, which has occupied south Korea for over 50 years.

An important delegation of South Korean movement leaders has traveled to the United States to expose crimes committed by the U.S. military against the Korean people. The group represents the struggle for justice for two girls killed by a U.S. Army armored vehicle in June 2002. The deaths of Shin Hyo-Soon and Shim Mi-Sun and the heartless response and cover-up have led to an explosive struggle against the U.S. military, which has occupied south Korea for over 50 years. On Nov. 22, a U.S. military court acquitted the two soldiers involved of negligent homicide in what Korean activists are calling a sham trial.
Over a million Koreans have signed petitions demanding that President Bush apologize, punish those responsible, and turn over jurisdiction in the case to the Korean government. When the U.S. embassy refused to accept the petitions, a delegation was formed to deliver them directly to the White House.
The delegation will arrive in Los Angeles after a successful series of activities in NYC and Washington, that includes a week of picketing the White House. Activists here will have a unique opportunity to meet these progressive Korean leaders. Come to the forum to hear about the struggle to get the U.S. military out of Korea, which is the main obstacle to peace, democracy, and reunification of the peninsula.
