On March 17th, two American journalists - Euna Lee and Laura Ling - were taken into custody by the North Korean military. The two women were reporting on the trafficking of women along the border with China.

Euna and Laura have been charged with engaging in "hostile acts," and their trial is set for June 4, 2009, in Pyongyang.

We call on the Government of North Korea to release Euna and Laura on humanitarian grounds. These women are wives, mothers, daughters, sisters; they are missed by their families and friends, who would like to see them safe and back at home.

She is Lisa Ling's sister. She's in the news because she "accidentally" strayed into North Korea and is being held by their government.
