In a deeply saddening development, a two-year-old child and their entire family have been subjected to political life imprisonment in North Korea after officials discovered a Bible in their possession. This distressing revelation comes from the US State Department’s International Religious Freedom Report 2022, which sheds light on the regime’s harsh crackdown on individuals with religious beliefs.
According to the report, an estimated 70,000 Christians and people of other faiths are currently imprisoned in North Korea, where the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion continues to be denied. António Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, expressed his concerns in the report, condemning the religious atrocities that have taken place in North Korea over the past years.
