North Korea: 'Where being a Christian leads to prison and torture: When Kim Tae Jin was being interrogated after his forcible repatriation to North Korea from China, he swallowed a nail in the vain hope of receiving medical treatment, rather than return to his prison cell. For the North Koreans, he had committed the ultimate crime: not only had he defected to China, but he was a Christian. The North Koreans found a bible in his bag, for which he suffered eight months of interrogation and four years in the Yodok political prison camp without trial. In North Korea, there is only one religion - the official worship of the founder of the communist-ruled state, the late Kim Il Sung and his doctrine of self-reliance.' (Independent)
