Description
We are so happy and excited to be celebrating religious freedom and democratic values at the first ever International Religious Freedom (IRF) Summit in Washington, DC. We, at One Korea Network (OKN), have been fighting to inform the public of the demise of democracy in South Korea. We continue to strengthen the bonds between the U.S. and South Korea which were formed in our fight against authoritarianism and tyranny. In South Korea, some politicians in the ruling party including current President Moon Jae-in seek to appease North Korea and China, rather than support the U.S. and South Korea alliance. One Korea Network seeks to educate the American public on these appeasement policies to ensure our ironclad alliance, which was based on the protection of human rights and religious freedoms, is upheld. We must continue this fight in honor of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our human rights during the Korean War. One Korea Network also advocates for and promotes the improvement of the human rights situation in North Korea by working with and supporting the North Korean defector community in South Korea and in the US, and exposing the evil influence and interference of the Chinese CCP in both countries. In light of OKN’s participation and attendance at the inaugural IRF Summit, we affirm our continuing efforts to defend and support religious freedom in South Korea, in particular the Rev. Jun Kwang-hoon of Sarang Jeil Church who has come under unwarranted and severe harassment from the Moon administration under the guise of COVID-19 pandemic guidelines, as well as other members of the Protestant evangelical churches in South Korea facing unfair social-distancing orders that have prevented congregations from meeting for worship.
