Per Suzanne Sholte: “The families of Laura Ling and Euna Lee made the decision to go public and appeared on NBC’s Today Show http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/vp/31042445#31042445 and Larry King Live yesterday http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2009/06/01/lkl.ling.family.cnn about the detention of their loved ones, two courageous reporters who were trying to report about the situation facing North Korean refugees in China.   Please join these candlelight vigils tomorrow evening, June 3, for Laura Ling and Euna Lee who were seized near the China/North Korea border on March 17 by North Korean border guards and forcibly taken to Pyongyang where they have been separately held in detention accused of “hostile acts.”  The vigils are scheduled to be held at the time they will be on trial in North Korea on June 4.”
