North Korean Students Arrested for Reading the Bible and
Watching Bible Video CD March 27, 2008.

North Korean Students Arrested for Reading the Bible and
Watching Bible Video CD NORTH KOREA – The Voice of the Martyrs is calling on
the Communist North Korean government to immediately release 10 college students in Ham Kyung Book Do Chung, North Korea, who were investigated and arrested for reading a Bible and watching a video CD about the Bible.

According to Free North Korea Broadcasting, Mr. Jung, former
vice-president of GumRung Company of the Rodong Dang Labor Organization
Department, reported the case and has since escaped to China to avoid arrest by
the National Security Agency (Bowiboo).

“In March 2006, 200 Life Bibles and several hundred CDs were
purchased in China and secretly placed in flour bags before being smuggled into
North Korea. This huge Bible smuggling case was headed by GumRung Company
employees who were influenced by Christianity in China and underground
Christians in Nasun City. All the leaders have been arrested and are being
severely tortured. If I am caught, I will be sent to a prison camp for political
criminals. I didn’t want to die in prison camp, so I escaped,” Mr. Jung
said.

In the Free North Korea Broadcasting report, Mr. Jung added
that most of the arrested students attended ChungJin College. “These students
shared the Bible and video CD with their friends. They also distributed the
Bibles and video CDs to the other college towns,” he said.
The Voice of the Martyrs stands with and supports Christians facing severe persecution in North Korea.

Be praying.
