Obs: They can say what they like Americans but they are the bravest.
The site Veja magazine reported yesterday (21), one of three Americans held prisoners in North Korea has been released and is on its way from the United States. According to the Department of State, Jeffrey Fowle embarked on a military aircraft and flew to the island of Guam, American territory in the Pacific Ocean.
Fowle, who entered the country on a tourist visa, was jailed for six months for leaving a Bible in the hotel where she was staying. The official version of the Korean police is that he left the 'Dangerous Book' in a nightclub in the port city of Chongjin, in the north.
Forced to live only in secret, the Korean Christians dare not share about their faith. Anyone discovered in religious activity is subject to detention, disappearance, torture and even public execution.
For the 12th consecutive year, North Korea is where Christian persecution is more extreme. The worship leader Kim Jong-Un and his predecessors leaves no room for any other religion. Christians face extreme pressure in all walks of life. However, the Church is growing: there are about 400,000 Christians in the country.
