Victim NP-0238

Extra Bio Info:

Victim NP-0238 is imprisoned for her religious activity. 

In 2009, North Korean officials arrested NP-0238 after China refouled her for meeting with Christians to study Christianity. Authorities confined her at North Hamgyong Provincial MSS Detention Center, where detainees are subjected to forced nudity, invasive cavity searches, severe beatings, and inhumane sanitary conditions. During detention, guards mocked her religion, forced her to crawl backwards out of her cell on her hands and knees, and beat her stomach repeatedly with a wooden club. 

Authorities sentenced her to indefinite imprisonment at Chongjin Susong political prison camp.
