나쁜 놈들아, 폴러첸 의사를 내쫓아?
아침에 이-메일을 열어보니 폴러첸 씨로부터 비참한 통고가 들어와있다. 남한정부가 폴러첸 義士를 또 쫓아내려 하나보다. 폴러첸 義士는, 남한에 다시 들어올 수 없으면 일본에 가서라고 북한인권운동을 계속하시겠다 한다.
폴러첸 의사가 남한에서 정치운동을 했어? 노무현, 이종석, 정동영, 반기문, 고영구들 듣거라! 죽어가는 사람들 살리자는 것이 정치운동이냐? 너희들은 평양에 몰려가서 김정일에게 머리를 조아리면서, 굶어 죽어가는 네 동포들을 외면하면서, 우리 동포들 살리겠다는 폴러첸 의사를 내쫓아? 천벌을 받을 놈들!
폴러첸 義士를 억압하고 추방하고 못살게 구는 남한정권은 없어져라!
오늘부터 폴러첸 의사 추방저지 반대운동을 벌릴 것이다. 미국에서 들고 일어나고, 일본에서 들고 일어나고, 유럽에서 들고 일어날 것이다.
노무현! 워싱턴에서 보자! 네가 무슨 낯짝이 있다고, 부시 대통령 만나서 무슨 거짓말을 또 하려고 미국에를 오느냐! 김정일에게는 필요도 없는 군자금과 비료를 갖다 바치고, 6백여명이 달려가서 머리를 조아리겠다면서, 우리 폴러첸 의사를 내쫓아? 네가 대한민국 대통령이냐? 양아치 개구리 사깃꾼이지.

Friends,
Norbert Vollertsen was kicked out of North Korea for helping the dying children and for informing the world about the atrocities of Kim Jong-il. He is now being kicked out of South Korea by Roh Moo-hyun for informing the world about the atrocities of Kim Jong-il and the treacheries of the South Korean government. We must help him get back to South Korea. Let us write to everybody who can help, and let us report this in every newspaper who cares!

Subject: Exit order from South Korea
Exit order from South Korea
I finally got my exit order to leave South Korea before June 4. I will head to Tokyo in order to continue my activities regarding North Korean Human right abuses speaking to journalists, politicians, human rights activists and the family members of the abductees there - what I was no longer allowed to do in North Korea and now also in South Korea.
After several speeches here in South Korea about human rights in North Korea I was barred from reentering South Korea at Busan Port in November 2004. I complained about this and did not want to get sent
back to Shimonoseki in Japan where I cam from by ferry. Afterwards I was detained in the immigration office there at Pusan harbour for around 10 hours without being allowed to call the German embassy, my family, some friends or, of course journalists.
The officials there - sometimes up to 10 people discussed the whole matter endlessly with their senior colleagues and afterwards confronted me with some written documents where I should confess that I violated the immigration law with my political activities. Most important they wanted me to sign a document - like back in Pyongyang.... And like back in Pyongyang I refused to do so....
By chance - when none of the more and more upset officials was in the room I managed to figure out how to make an outside phone-call and contactet Donald Macintyre from "Time". He arranged to get a "Chosun
Ilbo"- journalist to the immigration office in Pusan and only when this happened I was allowed to enter the country without signing any document but with a written "notice" that I am not allowed to engage in
any political activities as a foreigner.
In December 2004 and Jan. 2005 I kept a rather low profile mainly because of the holiday season and then because of a sudden shift of my attention to the medical emergency crisis in the Indian Ocean because
of the Tsunami. I joined the KMA in order to give medical assistance in Band Aceh/ Indonesia and when I returned to South Korea I got the same "notice" again but was allowed to reenter the country at
Incheon-airport mainly because we were followed by foreign journalists and our trip was widely covered.
On March 1, March 19 and March 20 I engaged again in "political activities" regarding North Korean human rights. Being a German I thought it was still my duty to continue to speak out against any crimes against humanity after the Holocaust-shame in my grandparents generation.
When my visa expired on April 15 I refused to get out again to Japan for a "visa-trip" because I was afraid that I might get barred on the way back and that this time there might be no new chance for some "journalists emergency call".
On May 20, 2005 I was summoned to the Immigration office for violating the immigration law. When I turned up there at 1:00 PM I was again held by nearly six hours, questioned and pressured to sign a document
which mentioned the three incidents that I violated the immigration law with politcal speeches on March 1,19, and 20. Again I refused to sign any document but told them that I was documenting the whole discussion
and everything what was discussed should be in the newspapers of tomorrow...- at around 6:30 I was released without signing anything but with an "exit notice" that I have to leave the country latest on June 4, 2005 and that I have to pay 200 000 Won as a penalty for overstaying.
The official finally told me that of course I am allowed to reenter South Korea but not with a tourist visa because of my activities but rather when I ask to apply for some "political visa" but of course foreigners are not allowed to engage in any political activities in South Korea, of course...
