Protestors Rally in London to Support North Korean Christian Facing Execution

A North Korean Christian who faces execution for expressing concern over the situation in his Communist-run nation was given overwhelming support by protestors that gathered outside the North Korean Embassy in London Friday.

Songs were led by the internationally-known artist Graham Kendrick, while prayers and chants were said in English and Korean for 48-year-old Son Jong Nam.

UK-based advocacy group Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), which co-organised the rally, reported about a protestor who was bound to a tree outside the Embassy with three strips of cloth, in imitation of a North Korean execution.

“His Head was shrouded in a symbolically blood-stained cloth, giving a striking representation of the effect of the bullets typically fired by three marksmen at the head, chest and stomach of victims of execution in North Korea,” CSW told BosNewsLife.
