'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

Republic of Korea Consulate-General
Park, Enna
Human Rights Office
335 East 45th Street
New York, NY 10017


"Dear Ms. Park:

Enclosed please find many pages of signatures of people from throughout the world who are outraged about South Korea’s arrest of six leaders of the Pan-Korean Alliance for Reunification.

It is obvious that your government has decided to crack down on those who believe in and practice the democratic right of citizenship. This is a troubling development for all of us.

We pledge that we will continue to spread the word about your government’s unjust action all over the world.

This situation is a test of South Korea’s commitment to human rights. If your country truly practices democracy and human rights then these six people will be immediately released and apologies will be given.

It should not be considered a crime to peacefully work for reunification of a fractured nation.

One cannot help but wonder if the hands of the U.S. are also in this bowl of disunity. It appears to us that the U.S. intends to keep South Korea and North Korea apart as a way to justify further militarization of the Asia-Pacific region.

It is sad to see your government fall for this dangerous and destabilizing strategy.

We look forward to your official response, which we will widely share.

In peace,


Bruce K. Gagnon
Coordinator

[번역] 브루스 개그논이 Ms. Park, Enna 에게 보내는 서한


2009 년 5월 14일
Ms. Park, Enna 대한 민국 영사관 인권 사무국 뉴욕 시 이스트 45 번가 335 번지 Dear Ms. Park 동본된 편지에서 조국통일 범민족연합 (범민련) 의 6명의 지도자들을 체포한 사실에 분노하여 세계 전역에서 서명한 많은 용지들을 보시길 바랍니다.

당신의 정부가 시민의 민주주의 권리를 믿고 실천한 이들을 탄압하기로 결심했다는 사실이 분명합니다. 이것은 우리 모두에게 심각한 진전입니다.


우리는 대한민국의 부당한 행동을 세계 전역에 걸쳐 계속 퍼트릴 것을 다짐합니다.


이 상황은 대한 민국의 인권에 관한 사명감의 테스트이기도 합니다. 당신의 국가가 민주주의와 인권을 진정 실현한다면 이 6 명은 즉각 석방되어야 하며 사과가 주어져아 합니다.


쪼개진 나라의 평화로운 통일을 위해 평화롭게 일하는 것이 범죄가 되어서는 안됩니다.


미국의 손이 이 분리에 영향을 주었는지 의아하지 않을 수 없읍니다. 아시아 태평양의 높아져 가는 군사화를 정당화하기 위해 남한과 북한의 분단을 유지하려는 것으로 보입니다.


당신의 정부가 이 위험하고 불안정하게 만드는 전략에 말려들어가는 것을 보는 일은 슬픈 일입니다.


우리가 넓게 공유할 당신의 공식적인 대답을 고대합니다.


평화의 인사를 보냅니다.
