Free Laura Ling and Euna Lee Video Petition

This week our friends and Current TV journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling were sentenced to 12 years in North Korean labor camps. On March 17, 2009, they were captured by North Korean border guards in the Yalu River region that loosely defines North Korea’s border with China. We believe that their capture was unjust, and that their harsh sentence is an outrage.

Please join our video petition to set them free.

You’ll get an activation email. Open it and click the link. The link will take you to Seesmic.com, but don’t log in there. Nothing bad will happen if you do, it’s just easier to come back here and log in to the player. (If the player is giving you error messages, then try going directly to the Seesmic thread.)

Don’t worry that all the registration info you typed is still there on the left side. Just type in your newly registered user name and password, then click LOG IN.

Now wasn’t that easy? You should be either looking at yourself in the video player right now, or being asked for permission to access your webcam. In the case of the latter, click ALLOW. Now you should finally be seeing yourself through the eyes of your webcam. When you’re ready just click the big red record button and join in.

You will be able to review your video before posting. If you don’t like the first take please try again. It will only post publicly when you give it permission to.

Please take a moment and lend your voice to the cause.

Free Laura and Euna Video Player is now working

Apologies to everyone that has come to our blog to participate in the Free Laura Ling and Euna Lee Video Petition. The Seesmic player gave almost everyone who tried to register an error message.

The good news is that Loic (the founder of Seesmic) put his staff on it yesterday, and they fixed the problem. I ran some tests last night, and the registration feature on the player seems to be working now.

Lets kick this thing off again. Free Laura Ling and Euna Lee.
