Being discovered as a Christian is a death sentence in North Korea. Everyone in your family will share the same punishment. An estimated 50,000-70,000 Christians are currently imprisoned, according to the Open Door report 2021.
It’s not known how many people are killed in North Korea for their religious beliefs but a 2019 report revealed there were 318 execution sites in North Korea, and in 2013, Kim Jong-un executed 80 fellow nationals mostly for possessing bibles.
Thousands have fled the country due to the agenda to wipe out all Christians and the sacred freedom of conscience, the 2018 reports said there had been 120 killings and 90 disappearances.
The 2021 US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) in their 2021 report documented how Kim Jong-un and his Workers Party beastly devour their fellow nationals just for being Christians.
The report identifies several terror acts inflicted on Christians in a “designed agenda to remove all traces of Christianity and exterminate Christians”
Kim Jong-un’s dictatorial government spends taxes on tracing Christian fellowships, arresting them and promoting law enforcement personnel who brutally execute Christians.
Kim Jong-un’s blood-thirsty paws have engulfed the country's borders, spilling the blood of his fellow countrymen who want to flee from his den of desolation into which he plunged their nation.
Those who make it into Communist China are handed back to the axis of evil to face the worst of the Kim Jong-un government's wrath of execution or imprisonment in political camps.
Kim Jong-un’s authorities don’t want mixed blood and women who are deported pregnant due to the sexual objectification they suffer in exile in China are forced to abort as happened to Hyeona Ji.
“I escaped four times from North Korea, and I was repatriated by the Chinese. They [North Korean authorities] placed me on a desk. And a fearful-looking doctor forcibly pried open my legs and inserted forceps and started killing my baby in my womb by cutting up and shredding my baby.
This was all done without any anesthesia used on me and the physical pain was so hard to endure.
I could hear the doctor being frustrated with the fact that the shredded parts of my baby… were not falling off the forceps” she said in a 2019 testimony.
According to the South Korean Ministry of Unification, about 230 North Koreans defected to South Korea in 2020—the lowest number in 20 years and significantly less than the 2019 figure of 1,047 due to the fact that North Korean authorities profited from the Covid-19 draconian restrictions.
On September 24, 2021, North Korea Freedom Coalition wrote to Communist China to provide passage to refugees from North Korea to pass through their country to South Korea where they are given citizenship.
“We appeal to you as China’s leader with this specific request: please provide safe passage to refugees coming into China from North Korea and cease returning them to North Korea. Those returned under your current policies face certain torture, certain imprisonment and even public execution” part of the letter said.
In June 2020, the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) adopted a resolution condemning “in the strongest terms the long-standing and ongoing systematic, “denial of the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, including the right to adopt a religion or belief”
In 2002, North Korea reported to the UN Human Rights Committee that there were 12,000 Protestants and 800 Catholics in the country.
Hee-Yol managed to escape North Korea after being imprisoned for being Christian and now lives in South Korea.
The Open Door records her story: “I ask those who have been praying … from all around the world to pray for North Korea to be able to come to the gospel. The North Korean citizens are like slaves. With the light of the Lord, they would be freed.”
