First on Fox: A movement that is aimed at lowering tensions between South and North Korea threatens life for the estimated 400,000 Christians who live in the north. The policy has been closed as ‘a catastrophic strategic error’.
The new president of South Korea, Lee Jae-Myung, ordered a reported 80% of the radio broadcasts from the south, shone to the north, to stop broadcast in May. The president also stated that speakers who had broadcast anti-communist propaganda on the border between the two countries should be removed.
Allegedly Myung told his cabinet in Seoul: “I hope that such mutual measures will gradually lead to dialogue and communication” between the two Koreas, the Korea Times reported Tuesday, adding that the South Korean president wants southern and north korea “shifts to each other’s damage to each other’s damage to each other’s damage to each other Drivers to a relationship that damages each other to one that damages each other to a relationship that damages each other.

In a statement reported by news website Korea.net on 5 August, the Ministry of Defense of South Korea added that the new measures were “practical measures to help relieve Inter-Korean tensions, within a reach that has no influence on the army of the army.”
But the closure of radio stations has a drastic effect on the Christians of Noord -Korea. The Kim Jong-Un regime has ruled that it is a crime to worship Christianity. Even found with a Bible can lead to execution, normally with a bullet, sometimes reportedly after torture.
There is no general access to the internet for ordinary citizens. The only practical way in which Christians can experience the gospel and the Christian doctrine or thoughts is to secretly listen to a radio. But now that the 38 North of the Stimson Center, a publication that analyzes data on Noord -Korea, says broadcasts to the country from the South, including broadcasts that have previously been supported by the American Bureau for Worldwide Media, have been reduced by almost 80% since May, and they can advise that level could fall even further in the coming months.

It has also been reported that it is more difficult to hear the Christian message now. Because there are still fewer broadcasts going north, the authorities would be more successful in jamming them electronically.

In North Korea, Cho claimed, the prevailing Kim family Dynasty is collectively portrayed as gods, not only the so-called “supreme leaders,” but supreme beings. He explained that Christianity is so feared by the government. He added that “the most dangerous threat to North Korean authority is the claim that there is a true God who is not connected to the Kim Dynasty.”
“The closing of radio stations that rays information in North Korea is a catastrophic strategic error. Real change cannot come from the Kim family. It can only come from the people in North Korea, especially Christians. And the only thing the outside world can do to help them, is empowerment through information.”
Noord -Korea is at the top of the world watch list of Open Doors for persecution of Christians again this year. Open Doors is a global organization that supports and speaks Christians for their faith. The report noted: “Police and intelligence services are looking for houses without warning. If they find Christian materials, it is considered a crime against the nation and the whole family can be banned, trapped or executed. Those who use a non -registered smartphone or radio to gain access to non -approved media.”
The report continued: “Christians only dare to listen to radio programs at night, hidden under blankets. Every act of worship, although led by itself, is seen as an” act of extreme unfaithfulness. “Citizens are trained to report everyone who can be an enemy of the regime, including family members.

“The national media broadcast anti-Christian content, where Christians are depicted as poor betrayed of the nation, and mission activities are referred to as terrorism,” the open doors reported.
On Thursday, Kim Yo-Jong, the sister of the North Korean leader, and deputy director of the publicity and information department of the ruling employee party in Pyongyang, made it clear that North Korea will not reduce controls. She has released a statement, monitored by a source in Seoul, reportedly saying: “We don’t care if Zuid -Korea dismantles the speakers or stops the broadcasts. We are not going to improve the relationships with the loyal Lakeys of America.”
