[Peace News] Memorial Service for Ms. Ji-In Gu & the 2nd Ad in the NY Times
On the 6th January, memorial services for Ms. Ji-In Gu, the victim of coercive conversion program, were held in many countries around the world. Human rights group and activists who support the human rights and DPCW (Declaration of peace, Cessation of war) for the world peace gathered at respective city to offer their condolences to Ms. Ji-In Gu. Ms. Ji-In Gu was abducted by her parents and suffocated to death while she was struggling to escape coercive conversion program last year.
Please refer some articles of my blog about Ms. Ji-In Gu and coercive conversion program below.

Anele Zondi, a member of the HWPL (Heavenly Culture, World Peace and Restoration of the Light. Chairman: Man Hee Lee), explained :
"The group of pastors from the Christian Council of Korea who started the programme, where they would convert people to their particular denomination, she was forcefully converted to their programme."
Memorial Services for Ms. Ji-In Gu were held at many places in the world
The coercive conversion program carried out by pastors of the CCK (Christian Council of Korea) violates human rights and religious freedom of an individual through the use of kidnapping, confinement and violence, which goes against the 10 articles 38 clauses of HWPL's DPCW for world peace. Moreover, there is no constitutional law in Korea that can stop coercive conversion program and punish coercive conversion pastors.
To inform more people in the world, a peace group in the U.S.A. published an advertisement in the NY Times for 2nd time followed by the 1st one in last November.
We have to know that this is not just simply a religious conflict, but a significant breach of human rights and religious freedom that can happen to anyone in the world. To achieve world peace, peoples' thoughts have to change into 'Conflict resolution through dialogue, understanding and respect', not 'Using force and argument as the only way to solve problems'. This is the 21st century, not the Medieval Age.
We have to get involved and stand together to protect ourselves from the injustice in the world.

I'd like to finish my article with really good quote from Ms. Barbara Rass, Councillor of City of Cape Town, who participated in the memorial service in the Republic of South Africa on the 6th Jan.
“We see this almost every day and we can’t just be silent. People must know that the world is watching.”
Peace!
Why don't you take a look? Get informed, get involved.
