A two-year-old child was sentenced to life in a prison camp in North Korea because their parents owned a bible. The young child was jailed along with their entire family, and will never see life outside again.
A disturbing picture of Christian life in North Korea has been painted by the report, which summarises the findings of various non-governmental organisations , human rights groups and the UN.
One Christian woman in solitary confinement was driven to suicide in 2020 after prison guards refused to let her sleep, according to the new publication. ‘Are the services regular? The church seems maintained but is it a regular event? In the society you see no evidence of religious activity – except for Buddhism.
According to the new publication, many North Korean Christians actually hid their faith from their children. The report said: ‘One defector told Korea Future that the government published graphic novels in which Christians coaxed children into churches and took them to the basement to draw their blood.’
Followers of shamanism face punishments ranging from six months in a forced labour camp to three or more years in a reeducation facility.
