Two-year-old jailed for life over parent’s Christian faith
Another pattern of punishments meted out on believers in the country, as indicated in the report, includes “pigeon torture”, where they were suspended with their hands tied behind their backs, unable to sit or stand for days on end.
A victim was quoted as saying, “It was the most painful of all tortures. It was so painful, I felt it was better to die.” Some were also said to have been 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.
No fewer than 70,000 Christians have been allegedly imprisoned for their faith under the Kim Jong-un regime, out of a possible population of 400,000.Kindly share this story: All rights reserved.
