Activists Claim Christian Executed in North Korea

CBNNews.com - South Korean activists say a Christian was publicly executed last month in North Korea for distributing the Bible.

The communist nation accused also accused Ri Hyon Ok, a 33-year-old woman of spying for South Korea and the U.S.

The report by anti-North Korean groups say the woman was executed in the northwestern city of Ryongchon near the border with China on June 16.

The report also claimed the woman's parents, her husband and three children were sent to a political prison camp the day after the execution. The report also showed a copy of Ri's North Korean government issued identity card.

It is impossible to verify the report about the North Korean government, since it is so secretive and tightly controls its citizens.
