Two North Korean Christian have died because of their faith, a global persecution watch dog revealed..
Open Doors USA confirmed the deaths of the two Christians, revealed that one was shot while he was leaving for bible training in china, and that another one died in a labour camp in north Korea.
The watch group, which reports on Christian persecution around the world, has had North Korea as No. 1 on its list of most oppressive countries in the world for 11 years running.
"Nowhere else in the world is the persecution of Christians so intense. Even the possession of the Bible is enough to be killed or sent to a labour camp for life with your entire family" Open Doors Says. The organisation added that between 200,000 and 400,000 Christians may be living in god besides North Korea, but official figures are hard to come by since profession of faith must be kept a secret. of those believers as many as 50,000 to 70,000 are believed to be living in concentration camps, where some face a grim death.
There's no religious freedom in North Korea people are simply killed if they believe in Jesus. A North Korean refugee whose name was withheld for security reasons told open Doors. "Kim Jong-Un is a god and there cannot be any god besides him. Yes, there are church services in North Korea, but only when foreigners are present. The state calls up some locals to be present. There is no freedom of religion, speech or press in North Korea.
In December, a U.S. citizen connected to a protestant group was reportedly arrested in North Korea. Details of his case remain vague, but sources have said that authorities found in his possession a computer with "delicate information' about North Korea. The information in question allegedly referred to photos of orphans and the struggles people face, which the pacific nation does not want to be spread around the world.
hmm God help us..
