Thursday, November 29, 2012 7:00 p.m. \Macalester-Plymouth United Church,1658 Lincoln Avenue, St. Paul, MN While often thought of as a civilized alternative to war with military weapons, sanctions actually have profound effects on the ability of people to meet their human needs and they can create conditions of defenselessness that are a prelude to war. With the U.S. policy of imposing sanctions on other countries, it is of vital importance for U.S. citizens to understand their effects. Three panelists, with knowledge of sanctions and their effects, will speak, followed by a question and answer session. Free and open to the public. Speakers Dr. Christine Hong, a Korea Policy Institute fellow, who is with the National Campaign to End the Korean War, the Alliance of Scholars Concerned about Korea, and the Working Group on Peace and Demilitarization in the Asia Pacific will be here from Santa Cruz, California where she teaches at the University of California-Santa Cruz. Dr. Omid Mohseni, who has recently returned from Iran and will report on conditions there. Peace activist Marie Braun, who was in Iraq during the Sanctions Period.
