A two-year-old is set to spend his entire life in a North Korean prison camp after his Christian parents were found with a Bible in their homes, according to a report by the US State Department.
The shocking tale was revealed by the US State Department’s International Religious Freedom Report.
It claimed the two-year-old and his entire family were locked up for their religious beliefs.
Several other cases of North Koreans being killed for being Christian were also included in the report, including the firing squad execution of a woman and her grandchild in 2011.
Other believers faced "pigeon torture", where they were suspended with their hands tied behind their backs, unable to sit or stand for days on end.
One victim said: “It was the most painful of all tortures.
“It was so painful I felt it was better to die.”
Some were tortured with sleep deprivation including one woman in solitary confinement who was driven to suicide in 2020 after prison guards refused to let her sleep.
As many as 70,000 Christians have been imprisoned for their faith under the Kim Jong-un regime, out of a possible population of 400,000. The new publication said several North Korean Christians hid their faith from their children.
It cited the finding of one NGO, Open Doors USA (ODUSA), which said: “A Christian is never safe.
“Children are encouraged to tell their teachers about any sign of faith in their parents’ home.”…
It’s because they’re perceived as a “hostile class” and a “serious threat to loyalty to the state” the report said.
Thou shalt have no other gods but the Kims.
