2-year-old child Sentenced to life in Prison for possessing a Bible

A new report about religious freedom has caused anger worldwide after uncovering a disturbing event in North Korea. According to the report, in 2009, a family was taken into custody by government officials for having a Bible, which is seen as opposing the country's official beliefs.

What's even worse is that their two-year-old son was also given a life sentence and sent to a political prison camp along with his parents.

This case shows how seriously North Korea punishes people who believe in religions other than the state-approved faith, including very young children.

Groups that work for human rights say North Korea is still one of the worst places for people to practice their religion.

Having religious books is treated as a crime against the state. This incident has made more people around the world ask for action to protect basic rights and religious freedom in North Korea.
