In addition to the recent capture and release of Japanese and Iranian American journalist Roxana Saberi by Iran, 2 other Asian American women journalists have been captured and detained by North Korea.  Please take a moment to act in support of Euna Lee and Laura Ling.  Below is a message from the petition posted at Care2.

========

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.  This will be the first time North Korea has put Americans on trial in their country. 

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.
