Title A name given to the resource "Voices That Must Be Heard" Articles Description An account of the resource The Independent Press Association (IPA) translates articles from the ethnic press (when necessary) and distributes them via web and fax newsletter to mainstream and ethnic press, government offices, nonprofits, and interested individuals. Voices That Must be Heard was designed by the Independent Press Association staff in New York City in response to the horrifying events of September 11. After Sept. 11th, Voices focused on the South Asian, Arab and Middle Eastern communities in New York. Since February 2002, the project has expanded, selecting articles from the broad range of ethnic and community newspapers throughout the city. Here, the Archive has preserved the Voices collection from its inception until November 2002.

Han Sang-ryol, held a protest rally in front of the UN building on Dec. 3 at noon, along with a coalition of New York groups, including: the New York branch of Korean Democratic Reunification of Korea (Representative Hak-sam Song), and the International Action Center, (Chairman Ramsey Clark, former U.S. attorney general). They demanded that U.S. President George W. Bush openly apologize for the deaths of two Korean girls crushed by an American combat vehicle in June. They also demanded a retrial of the soldiers in a Korean court and revision of the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). The demonstrators then moved to Times Square, the center of Manhattan, and they held a silent protest in front of the U.S. military recruiting station. Rev. Han Sang-ryol and several other members also displayed photos showing crimes committed by U.S. soldiers stationed in Korea, and scenes from the deaths of Shin Hyo Soon and Shim Mi Sun by the U.S. armored vehicle. "We want President Bush to publicly apologize in person, punish those responsible and revise the Status of Forces Agreement,'' or SOFA, Han said. Han and others will give a press conference at the National Press Center on Friday before visiting the White House to deliver their letter to President Bush, along with documents that contain over 1.3 million signatures demanding Bush's personal apology and SOFA reform. The delegation also will deliver a protest letter to the Pentagon. They will hold rallies in front of the White House in Washington D.C., before returning to Seoul. Han and six other members will call on the Pentagon, hoping to meet with the South Korean delegation at an annual ROK-U.S. Security Consultative Meeting (SCM). "Bomdaewi" will hold a protest and other activities, including a video screening, over nine nights and 10 days in New York, Washington D.C., and Los Angeles, and then will return to Korea on Dec. 11. Meanwhile, in Korea, a group of Catholic priests continued a hunger strike near the U.S. Embassy, while Buddhist monks have vowed to hold rallies today, along with citizens, to demand a retrial of the servicemen and rewriting of the SOFA, which governs the legal status of 37,000 U.S. troops stationed here.
