Prisoners
North Korea is often described as one huge prison, but in fact, there are various types of prisons distinguished by finely calibrated levels of brutality. Kim Jong Il describes those who have opposed his rule as “cancers that must be cut out.” In NK this means death or prison. Punishment is not limited to the offender, but also three generations of the offender’s family.
Please pray for:
■ The release of all N. Koreans who have been unjustly imprisoned.
■ Compassion of prison administrators and guards. Pray they stop torture, beatings, forced abortions, and other cruel treatment of the prisoners.
■ Nourishment and strength of the prisoners to perform the hard labor required of them.
■ Greater awareness of these prison camps around the world and the increase of international pressure to shut these prisons down.
