'North Korea is considered to be one of the worst persecutors of Christians in the world. Christians can be detained, tortured and sent to what have been likened to concentration camps as political prisoners. Many flee to avoid persecution – as well as starvation.‘If there is a hell in this world, then it is the North Korean concentration camps,’ a former prisoner known as Kim told Release. He was caught by the Chinese police after escaping from North Korea and sent to Yoduk camp for five years as a political prisoner.
He described conditions in the camp: ‘There is only fear, and absolutely no connection to the outside world. The food crisis is bad in North Korea, but it is even worse in the camps. People die of malnutrition. If anyone was found praying they would disappear.’
How long before these things happen here? Pray and pray and pray again for N. Korean Christians.
Release International.
