“Statement on the Recent Developments in South Korea - Call for Democracy in South Korea”
Pathways to Cross-Cultural Understanding
Issued December 5, 2024
Pathways to Cross-Cultural Understanding (PCCU) stands in solidarity with the people of South Korea who are speaking out against the alarming actions of the Yoon Suk Yeol administration.
The declaration of martial law on December 3rd, 2024, is a direct attack on freedom of speech and democratic principles. President Yoon's attempt to establish a dictatorship through violence and oppression poses a significant threat to the country and its people.
We strongly urge President Yoon to step down immediately. We commend the bravery of the Korean people as they fight to protect their families, their country, and their fundamental freedoms.
PCCU remains committed to our core values of hope, compassion, equity, and freedom for all. We believe in the power of true democracy to create a more just and harmonious world.
Finally, we absolutely condemn the use of violence against peaceful protesters and will continue to advocate for democracy in South Korea.
