Following Shin

The persecution of religious believers in North Korea ranks as one of the worst in the world. Many Christians have been publicly executed and others have been taken away to camps where they are subject to brutal treatment. Around 200,000 people are thought to be incarcerated in these sprawling camps, many condemned to such a fate even without a trial.

Recently, CSW were privileged to host a young man, Shin Dong-Hyuk, in the UK for high-profile meeting with political and religious leaders at the highest levels of influence. Shin was born in a North Korean prison camp and was imprisoned there for 23 years before he escaped. After meeting Shin, the Foreign Minister said, "...testimonies such as Mr Shin's give us an insight that we would not otherwise get."

'What can be done?' 'Pray...in other words nothing can be done.' I was looking forward to something constructive as advice after seeing the text of he question on screen. If that's the best you have to offer I think Shin wasted his time talking to you.

Do scars lie?

[m king]

it is easy to call somebody a liar here in cyberspace. On what do you base your claim? It is not as if North Korea has one of the best human rights records, is it?

[Jae Kim]

that guy Sin is a total liar.

I bet he is paid big by some people in South Korea or US.

How can he make a living in South Korea?
