Memorial for Korean schoolgirls in L.A.

In Los Angeles on June 13, over 100 people attended a memorial for Shim Mi-son and Shin Hyo-sun, two South Korean schoolgirls crushed to death a year ago by a U.S. armored vehicle. The event was sponsored by One Korea L.A. Forum. Representatives from Mindullae, Korean Immigrant Workers Advocate, and International Action Center were there.

Those assembled pledged to keep up the international heat on the U.S. until it moves to radically alter the Status of Forces Agreement.

Ian Thompson of the International Action Center spoke briefly on the IAC's long-standing solidarity with the people of Korea and abiding commitment to bringing the U.S. troops home so the Korean people can finally enjoy peace, justice and reunification.
