Korea Despite North Korea's long history of human rights viola- tions and divisive governmen- tal ruling, students on campus are working to raise aware- ness of the challenges that the country's citizens are facing. Liberty in North Korea, also known as LiNK, is a non-profit organization based out of Tor- rance, Calif. LSA junior James Kim - president of the Uni- versity's LiNK chapter, which currently has about 50 mem- bers - said the club tries to separate the citizens of North Korea from the stigma of the country's controversial gov- ernment. University alum Jannet Park, a former LiNK president, said the goal of the club is to raise awareness on the issue of freedom in North Korea through fundraising and infor- mational programs. "Most people just don't know the issues at stake. (North Korean) people are poor and forced to live under this really powerful communist regime, but most don't realize why it's such a big issue," Park said. The University's chapter of LiNK was founded in 2005, but was forced to shut down by the California headquarters two years ago, which reorganized, Park said. Park relaunched the Uni- versity's chapter in fall 2011. LiNK's largest event is a documentary screening each semester by the LiNK nomads, a group of committed vol- unteers trained to promote awareness. Park said last year's documentary screening of "The Hiding," focused on North Korean refugees. Last December, members of LiNK also promoted a peti- tion to pass the North Korean Refugee Adoption Act, a bill that passed the U.S. House of Representatives last week that aims to assist stateless North Korean children. -ANGELA SON Newsrsom 734-4t8-41t5 opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com ArtsSection arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales onlineada@michigandaily.co News Tips news@michigandaily.com Letters to the Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com Finance finance@michigandaily.om 0 Music prof.

AT 420 MAYNARD ST. 0 Aghans shout anti-American slogans in the Ghanikhel district of Nangarhar province, east of Kabul, Afghanistan, Friday during a protest against an anti-Islam film. Militants claim Afghanistan attack is revenge for film Suicide bomber kills 12 people on Tuesday KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Islamic militants sought Tues- day to capitalize on anger over an anti-Islam video that was pro- duced in the United States, say- ing a suicide bombing that killed 12 people in Afghanistan was revenge for the film and calling for attacks on U.S. diplomats and facilities in North Africa. The attempt by extremists across the region to harness Mus- lim fury over a film that deni- grates the Prophet Muhammad posed new concern for the United States, whose embassies and con- sulates have been targeted, and in some cases breached, during riots and protests over the past week. At the same time, Western leaders welcomed statements by Middle East governments that condemned the violence against diplomatic facilities on their soil, even as they expressed anger over the video. Some of those governments replaced autocratic regimes in popular uprisings that swept the region, allowing for greater leniencytoward protest. At least 28 people have died in violence linked to the film in seven countries, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans killed in a Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The toll also includes 12 protest- ers killed in riots overthe filmlast week. Some officials in Libya have said the attack on the consul- ate was planned in advance by militants. However, the White House said Tuesday the assault appeared to have been sparked by anger over the film, though the investigation continues. The crisis has become a major foreign policy challenge for Washington in the final weeks of a presidential election campaign that has largely focused on eco- nomic challenges. The uproar over the video, "Innocence of Muslims," which was made by an Egyptian-born American citizen and posted on YouTube, reflects seemingly intractable tension between Western principles of free speech and Islamic beliefs that brook no insult directed at the prophet. The crisis offered fresh impe- tus for Islamic militants who have long plotted and carried out attacks on Westerntargets. Tuesday's attack in Kabul, the Afghan capital, was carried out by a suicide bomber who rammed a car packed with explosives into a mini-bus carrying foreign aviation workers to the airport. At least 12 people died, includ- ing eight South Africans, three Afghans and a citizen of Kyrgyz- stan. A spokesman for the Afghan militant group, Hizb-i-Islami, claimed responsibility for the dawn attack and said it was car- ried out by a 22-year-old woman named Fatima. Suicide bomb- ings carried out by women are extremely rare in Afghanistan, where few if any Afghan women drive cars. Leam moeat wwl R cm apuoiR.
