20,000 British Christians to date have signed a petition calling for religious freedom in North Korea – a nation considered to be one of the worst persecutors of Christians on Earth. Release International presented an interim petition to the North Korean embassy in London (July 22).
The Release One Day campaign presses for freedom of worship in the land where the Bible is banned. The petition calls on North Korea to allow its citizens to practise their faith without threat of persecution.
Recent reports by human rights organisations accuse North Korea of putting up to 180,000 people into forced labour. They also document the spread of political prison camps, where inmates – including those arrested for their faith – can face torture, starvation and execution.'
Please pray for success in this most worthy of ventures.
