ICC Note:

North Korea has the most oppressed Christians in the world. Just a few days ago, Christian Solidarity Worldwide released a report of how terrible religious persecution is in North Korea. The report documents the horrid treatments Christian endure such as being ran over a steamroller, sent to concentration camps where they take part in forced labor, subjected to sexual violence, being hung on a cross over a fire, herded off bridges and trampled under-foot. This may very well be described as a genocide. It is important to pray heavily for the persecuted Church.

09/26/2016 North Korea (Christian Examiner) – Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) has issued a harrowing report of religious persecution inside North Korea, including allegations that authorities there ran over confessing Christians with a steamroller.

The report, Total Denial: Violations of Freedom of Religion or Belief in North Korea, was issued Sept. 23 and claims liberty with respect to religion – or any belief contrary to the state’s communist ideology – is “largely non-existent.”

Christians, who are forced to practice their faith in secret, are often the targets of persecution. Those discovered are sent to concentration camps where they take part in forced labor. They are also subjected to sexual violence, torture and “extra-judicial” killings.

“Documented incidents include Christians being hung on a cross over a fire, crushed under a steamroller, herded off bridges and trampled under-foot,” the report claims.

CSW’s report is not only report to document the brutal anti-Christian regime in Kim Jong Un’s North Korea.

Earlier this year, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom also said in its report that Christians considered to have participated in acts of worship, of having studied the Bible or having possessed a church hymnal “are typically jailed, or worse.”
