A Christian who had been arrested around the Korean/China border in 2019 was released from a detention centre in March and reunited with her husband and children.
Eunji*, was a leader of a Bible study for North Korean women refugees when she was arrested. Repatriation back to North Korea would have meant torture or even death for her.
Eunji would likely have been transferred to a kwan-li-so, a maximum-security political labour camp. Approximately 50,000 Christians are held in inhumane prison camps in North Korea in conditions that have been described by Auschwitz survivors as ‘worse’ than the infamous World War II concentration camp.
