Two Year Old Sentenced To Life In Prison For Family Owning Bible

The Bible says in Hebrews that the “Word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword.”

So in some countries that ban both swords and firearms, they also ban the Bible because even the devil knows the Bible is more powerful than any sword or assault weapon.

One country that has banned the Bible is North Korea.

The North Korea ban on Bibles is so extreme that they are sentencing a two year old baby to life in prison because his parents owned a Bible in their house.

I total over 70,000 Christians are imprisoned in North Korea.

To be a Christian in #NorthKorea could mean life in prison or even execution

Jailing a 2 year-old for life is barbarity and inhumanity personified

Per Fox News:

A two-year-old along with his entire family were sentenced to political life imprisonment after North Korean officials found a Bible in their possession, the US State Department’s International Religious Freedom Report 2022 found, documenting the regime’s crackdown on people having religious beliefs.

The report provided estimated figures on religious persecution, stating that approximately 70,000 Christians, as well as individuals from other faiths, are imprisoned in North Korea.

“The right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion [in the DPRK] also continues to be denied, with no alternative belief systems tolerated by the authorities,” António Guterres, the United Nationa’s (U.N) secretary-general said in the report outlining liberty religious atrocities that have occurred in North Korea in the past years.

The U.N said that the COVID-19 restriction on travel reduced information about religious persecution conditions, making details about cases of abuse difficult to verify. The State Department said that they eventually confirmed the details from the report from non-governmental organizations (NGOs), human rights groups, and the U.N.

WION got the scoop too:

A two-year-old was sentenced to life imprisonment after North Korean officials found a Bible from his parents.

This incident was revealed by the US State Department’s International Religious Freedom Report 2022, documenting the regime’s crackdown on people having religious beliefs.

North Korea considers itself an atheist state despite officially granting freedom to practice religion. However, the Kim Jon-un regime continues to muzzle religious activities in the state.

The report mentioned that the family has been jailed, and even the child wasn’t spared.
