Christian Group Highlights Human Rights Issues amid N.Korea Missile Crisis

As world leaders, diplomats, and experts convene around the world to discuss the necessary response to the seven missiles fired by North Korea, one of the world’s oldest Christian persecution groups is pointing out the country’s status as the world’s worst human rights violator.

Since Tuesday, North Korea has test-fired more than a half dozen missiles resulting in greater condemnation and anger directed at the reclusive regime.

Worldwide, governments as well as the U.N. Security Council have convened for emergency meetings to discuss responses.

However, Open Doors has pointed out that the missile crisis has “obscured the fact” that North Korea is the No.1 violator of human rights in the world.
