Statement by the President -- North Korea Freedom Week

Contact: White House, Office of the Press Secretary, 202-456-2580

WASHINGTON, April 30 /Standard Newswire/ -- The following text is a statement by the President regarding North Korea Freedom Week:  

Laura and I send greetings to all those observing North Korea Freedom Week.  I am deeply concerned about the grave human rights conditions in North Korea, especially the denial of universal freedoms of speech, press, religion, assembly, and association, and restrictions on freedom of movement and workers' rights.   I have met in the Oval Office with some of the brave individuals who have escaped from that country.  I am deeply concerned by the stories of divided families, harsh conditions, and suffering.  The United States stands with the North Korean people in their call for freedom.  We believe it is every person’s basic right to live in freedom and dignity.  We will continue to support the North Korean people as they strive to achieve the rights and freedoms to which they are entitled as human beings.  We look forward to the moment when we can celebrate the blessings of liberty with the North Korean people.
