North Korean Human Rights Week

North Korea is one of the most repressive countries in the world. A United Nations Commission of Inquiry found last year that crimes against humanity are ongoing in the country--torture, deprivations of life and food, enforced disappearance of citizens from other countries, among others. North Koreans who are caught attempting to escape face torture, prison, and sometimes death. Join the Citizens’ Alliance for North Korean Human Rights (NKHR) and the Institute for Policy Research and Advocacy (ELSAM) for North Korean Human Rights Week as we show solidarity with the victims of the North Korean regime. As the international community continues taking action to improve the lives of North Koreans, the people of Indonesia can be a strong voice for universal human rights. --- 15-20 September: Art exhibition featuring artists who escaped North Korea Dia.lo.gue Artspace Kemang, Jakarta 15 September, 18:00 p.m.: Opening Reception Dia.lo.gue Artspace 16 September, 8:30 a.m.: Seminar: ASEAN Approaches to Human Rights in North Korea Universitas Indonesia, S&T Room 16 September, 16:00: Film Screening: Crossing Lotte Shopping Avenue (Kuningan), Lt.4 Ice Palace Hall (In Korean only/Khusus berbahasa Korea) 17 September, 14:00: Film Screening: Crossing Dia.lo.gue Artspace 18 September, 9:00: Presentation: Human Rights in North Korea Universitas Padjadjaran (Bandung), Auditorium Faculty of Law 19 September, 15:00: From Darkness: Art for Human Rights in North Korea and Indonesia Dia.lo.gue Artspace
