Detective Dee: Solitary Skies Killer
It's no secret that North Korea has one of the most oppressive governments in the world. Yet this systematic oppression has been largely overlooked by other countries for decades. In addition to ruling its citizens with an iron fist, North Korea has also brutalized people who practice outside religions. North Korea has actually been ranked as the most oppressive place in the world for Christians. Seo-Yeon states: The name that I was born with ,Seo-Yeon, was the first thing they took away from me when I arrived here in this North Korean prison. Every morning at 8 a.m., they call for "42." I'm in solitary confinement here in this North Korean prison camp because I believe in God. Seo-Yeon didn't understand why her mother would openly pray to their God in what was one of the darkest places on earth. She didn't understand why her mother risked arrest, imprisonment, and even death to practice her religion. She was in solitary confinement in a North Korean prison camp. The reason? She believed in God. North Korea is a closed-off country, so exposure comes with great risks. It can very well lead to sudden and swift punishment. This can even include imprisonment in one of the most brutal labor camps in the world. Freedom of religion is presented as a basic human right in North Korea's constitution. Article 68 states that people have the right to freedom of religion. But the reality is something else entirely. The primary driver of Christian persecution in North Korea is the state. For three generations, the main cultural belief has been idolizing the ruling Kim family. North Korea has propagated the narrative that Christians are hostile elements in society and must be eradicated. But believers still boldly practice their faith, despite being under constant threat of discovery and imprisonment.
