- According to a recent report on global religious freedom from the State Department, North Korean authorities sentenced an entire family, including a two-year-old child, to life imprisonment due to the discovery of a Bible in the possession of one family member.
- Although the incident took place in 2009, it has gained attention due to the alarming punitive actions imposed on Christians and other minority groups in North Korea.
- The communist hereditary dictatorship subjected the 2-year-old child and the entire family to confinement in political prison camps, which are notorious for subjecting inmates to severe physical abuse and dire living conditions. This distressing case is indicative of the grave circumstances faced by Christians in North Korea.
