Laura Ling and Euna Lee

by joi on July 12, 2009

We only think we have problems.

I’m sure you’ve followed the horrifying story surrounding Laura Ling and Euna Lee.   These American journalists have been detained in Korea, away from home and loved ones, for over 100 days.  The thought makes every inch of my body cold and ill.

A web site has been set up for these two women who now find themselves on the inside of the news – looking out rather than outside looking in. On the site you can learn more about the ladies behind the names.  For example, you’ll learn that Laura Ling is the younger sister of Lisa Ling.  She’s married and lives in Los Angeles.  You’ll also learn that Euna Lee has a 4 year old little girl and, in August, she and her husband will celebrate their 10th anniversary.

I urge you to visit the site and find out what you can do to help.  When compassionate, reasonable, humane people stand together – the uncompassionate, unreasonable, and inhumane don’t stand a chance.  Sign the petition, spread the word, and most importantly pray for Laura Ling, Euna Lee, their families, and, yes, even the ones who are detaining them.

Good for you Keri! It’s my hope that more people will do just as you did – sign the petition, and then not stop there. Spread the word and keep spreading it. I’m so glad to hear that you did just that.
