There are three main objectives of these international protests on December 9, 2011:
1)    To bring unprecedented pressure upon not only the NK regime but the international community to meaningfully address the horrific crimes being perpetuated systematically.
2)    To influence and awaken global public opinion to the real, genocidal nature of the NK regime.
3)    To create a watershed movement for the liberation of NK itself.

LETTER OF DEMANDS TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
(to be read at the protests):

To the Leaders of Korea, America, China, Russia, Japan, the United Nations and the Entire International Community,

We Refuse to Allow the North Korean Genocide to Continue Any Longer. Over 4,000,000 Innocent North Koreans have been Murdered by Kim Jong-Il’s regime since 1995, and an estimated 1,000,000 North Koreans have been Murdered as a result of Slave Labor, Rape, Torture, Starvation and Execution in North Korea’s Political Concentration Camps. The Very Existence of these Concentration Camps makes the North Korean State Illegal, Illegitimate, and Criminal, and Demands The Immediate Intervention of the International Community.

Our Demands, based upon the foundation of International Law and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are as follows:
1)    The Immediate and Total Liberation of All North Korean Political Concentration Camps
2)    Compensation and Re-imbursement to All North Korean Victims of Slavery, Starvation, Torture, All Concentration Camp Survivors and Their Families for Immeasurable Loss and Suffering
3)    The Immediate Stepping Down from Power of Kim Jong-Il and North Korea’s Leaders
4)    Prosecution of Kim Jong-il, Kim Yong-nam, Chang Sung-taek and All Individuals Responsible for Commissioning or Carrying Out Acts of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity
5)    Through the Guidance and Oversight of a Coalition of North Korean Refugee Leaders and Human Rights Activists, in Partnership with President Lee Myung Bak and the International Community, WE DEMAND THE LIBERATION AND REBUILDING OF NORTH KOREA BASED UPON THE FOUNDATION OF ENSURING AND GUARANTEEING WITHOUT FAIL THE HUMAN RIGHTS AND SAFETY OF EVERY NORTH KOREAN INDIVIDUAL ACCORDING TO THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND INTERNATIONAL LAW, WHICH WAS COMPOSED TO PREVENT THE ATROCITIES OF NAZI GERMANY FROM EVER OCCURRING AGAIN. WE, THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, HAVE ALL FAILED TO KEEP OUR PROMISE AND UPHOLD INTERNATIONAL LAW, AND MOST MISERABLY IN THE CASE OF NORTH KOREA.

Please pray for the success of these public demonstrations for North Korea and its suffering people.

Lord God,
I pray that you bless all of the protestors in Seoul, New York, Berlin, Tokyo and London and all other regions. We ask that December 9th you will do a great miracle to liberate the North Korean people. Please heal all those who have suffered so much because of Kim Jong-il’s evil regime. We ask that you open North Korea now. Please heal Mr. Park and all of the North Koreans who have suffered torture and lost everything. We ask that you will do a miracle. Thank you for this incredible work and miracle in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
