Dear President Biden,
We are Korean Americans from all across the great state of Georgia – business owners, religious clergy, and community leaders. Many of our families fled the horrors of a communist dictatorship and became proud Americans who believe in liberty and justice for all.
Adrian Hong, Christopher Ahn, and Sam Ryu are Korean Americans we are proud of. They have risked their lives for years to help others and now they are being hunted by the North Korean regime here in the United States. These men have suffered a grave and justice for over 20 months, and they continue to be unfairly persecuted for helping senior North Koreans escape. The safety and freedom of these brave men are of great concern to us.
We write to you as a community, respectfully asking for your leadership in helping these men find safety and return to their families.
No foreign nation should dictate what happens to Americans, especially ones who fight for human rights and freedom. We believe in America’s promise, and seek your assistance in helping right this wrong and bringing these men home immediately.
Sincerely,
Signatories.
