Extra Bio Info:

Victim NP-0076 is detained for her religious conversion and activity. 

In 2014, Ministry of State Security officials detained NP-0076, confined her at Musan County MSS Detention Center, and charged her with converting to Christianity after she had been refouled from China with a group of North Koreans who had all attended the same church in China. 

During detention, authorities beat her and subjected her to prolonged kneeling or stress-position detention, resulting in severe knee damage.
