Huntington Humanitarian

By Danielle Campbell

Huntington humanitarian and human rights activist Steven Kim is a small voice screaming out against global oppression.  Steven Kim has dedicated his life to drawing attention to Chinese complicity in ongoing North Korean oppression.  Kim, was arrested in 2004 for helping persecuted North Koreans fleeing through China, find safety in South Korea.    He was sentenced to five years in a Chinese prison under Article 318.  He was released in September 2007 - one year early, due to sentence-reduction point credits earned for forced prison labor.  Born in South Korea in 1949, Kim moved to the US in 1975 where he became naturalized, married, started a business and a family.  Kim's story is epic.   Kim's determination to continue the humanitarian efforts that got him imprisoned is done with a zeal and passion and impatience, that can only belong to those who have witnessed first hand human rights atrocities.  So far Steven Kim has helped more than 100 North Korean refugees find freedom.  He is planning a trip back to South Korea in October to meet with those who have escaped slavery, forced labor, and the sex trade.   US politicians and civil rights activists who worked to free Kim from China, are now supporting this Huntington furniture salesman in his global attempt to halt China and North Korea's policies regarding human rights.  One person can make a difference.  For more information on Steven Kim click here:
