Big shout out to Embassy guards & Seoul Metro Police Agency for responding to protesters who breached perimeter around my residence. 2nd incident in 13 months in Heart of Seoul. This time they tried to forcibly enter my home itself. 19 arrested. Cats are OK. Thanks @polinlove !

Terrific visit by “Tad” Davis, State Dept’s Director, Bureau of Overseas Building Operations. Here, he’s making well-deserved presentations to 2 Habib House staff who were injured in last week’s intruder incident. These 2 men exemplified our Ethos as they ”Protected this House.” pic.twitter.com/YNRFxXRlPF
