More On North Korea.

It’s Time to wake up to extreme persecution!

North Korea remains the number one place in the world where faith costs the most. Persecution is extreme: in North Korea, Christians are imprisoned in labour camps, tortured, or even killed just for owning a Bible.

And yet the international community remains largely unmoved!

On Tuesday 4 March, we have the amazing opportunity to bring a Christian survivor of a North Korean prison camp to the UK parliament, to speak directly to politicians about North Korea. It’s so important that their voice – representing thousands more – is heard by our government.

Please write to your MP today and urge them to attend!
This is a unique moment: the UN has commissioned its first ever inquiry into human rights abuses in North Korea and its report is due to be published in March 2014. This gives hope that the silence could be broken and the plight of Christians in North Korea exposed.

Please urge your MP to attend this meeting and to ensure that the international community does all it can to call the North Korean government to account. It’s Time to break the silence!

Phew.
