Last month, the ministry Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) released a report expressing deep concern over the persecution many face in North Korea. CSW advocated for launching a United Nations Commission on Inquiry to further investigate the country’s crimes, according to Christian Headlines.

As the report explains, religious freedom in North Korea is “largely non-existent” and faith-based persecution has been common place since the 1950s because religious beliefs are “seen as a threat to the loyalty demanded by the Supreme Leader.” While Christians are the main target of abuse, Buddhism and Shamanism are also practiced in the country and “suppressed to varying degrees.”

    • I don’t think it is your right to say that. You are not being persecuted. It is the right of the persecuted to pray that.

  4. Never mind,the blood of those Christians will serve as seed for the spread of the gospel.So d more they are persecuted or killed the more believers we will have in that country. I only pray that those dying will die in Christ indeed.
