The report said that religious activities in North Korea are operated only for propaganda under the control of the authorities, and that unauthorized religious activities are subject to reporting.
In particular, he pointed out that executions and torture are being committed for religious activities, saying that the situation has not changed even following the 2014 report of the UN Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in North Korea, which accused human rights violations in North Korea.
The US State Department report also took a direct hit to China’s violations of religious freedom.
Religious oppression of Xinjiang Uyghurs, Tibetan Buddhism, Falun Gong, etc. is at a serious level.
