CincyLiNK was founded in 2015 in memory Chris Park (1989-2014). It is the Cincinnati chapter of LiNK [Liberty in North Korea]. LiNK is a non-profit organization that works to rescue North Korean refugees in China and transport them to safety and help them resettle in South Korea or the US. LiNK has no political or religious affiliations. Right now, there are thousands of North Korean refugees whose lives are in grave danger. These are men, women, and children who have already made the daring escape out of North Korea,and are now forced to hide in China. If discovered by Chinese authorities, they will be sent back to North Korea where they face the risk of extreme punishment & death at Kim Jong-Un’s command. Because the Chinese government is unwilling to help, refugees are also at extreme risk of being trafficked into the sex industry and forced labor in China. LiNK rescues refugees without cost or condition, and ensures their safety and dignity on their journey to freedom.
