Students arrested for reading Bible

Ten college students in Ham Kyung Book Do Chung, North Korea, were recently arrested for reading a Bible and watching a video CD about the Bible.

In 2006, 200 Bibles and several hundred CDs were purchased in China and secretly placed in flour bags before being smuggled into North Korea.

"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," said Mr. Jung, who helped smuggle the Bibles.

"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.
