North Korea: Defector confirms Kim Jong-un using ‘Christian actors’ to portray freedom, believers ‘will be mercilessly killed’
In an powerful new investigation highlighting the treatment of Christians in North Korea comes news that the Kim Jong-un regime has videos using actors to appear tolerant of religious expression. A defector claims that people in North Korea are compelled to worship a sole entity; Kim Jong-un, their Supreme Leader.
Joo-Eun, the North Korean defector recently revealed that there is absolutely no religious freedom in North Korea, and people who believe in religion, especially Christianity will be mercilessly killed.
“There is no religious freedom in North Korea. People are simply killed if they believe in Jesus. Kim Jong-un is 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,” Joo-Eun told Express.
The Express report exposes the truth: portrayed in these photographs are paid actors, and the Kim Jong-un regime has made such an arrangement to make the global public believe that North Korea is a place where people enjoy religious freedom.
The government sets up fake churches with actors simulating religious activities.
North Korea is considered the worst country to lead one’s life as a Christian, and people who are practicing the religion secretly will get severe punishment which includes beating, imprisonment and sometimes even death sentence.
Christians in North Korea are now praying in utmost secrecy, as they are well aware of the repercussions if they get caught by the police.
