Victim NP-0374 is imprisoned for their religious activity and association.
In 2001, North Korean officials detained NP-0374 after they were refouled by China for associating with an individual who possessed a Bible. Chinese authorities had discovered a Bible among the group, beat them when no one confessed to owning it, and refouled them to North Korea. When they arrived, North Korean officials confined them at North Hamgyong MSS Detention Center, where detainees are subjected to forced nudity, invasive cavity searches, severe beatings, and inhumane sanitary conditions.
Authorities sentenced them to indefinite imprisonment at a political prison camp.
