So sad, how does it even get to a stage where they would kidnap a person, let alone kill them? Did she do anything wrong to them?

C’est vraiment une honte de la part du gouvernement coréen de tolérer de telles organisations. J’espère vraiment que les coupables seront punis de briser les foyers ainsi.

I am currently studying a Bachelor of Political Sciences in Australia. Me and my friends have been planning to travel to South Korea, a democratic country with free speech and sincere concerns towards human rights. Compared to other communist and unstable countries such as China and Vietnam, South Korean has been a safe and reliable option in Asia. Being a student studying Political Sciences, I came across many influential case studies regarding the interaction between Politics and Religions. I am actively involved in a university study group with talented students and professionals researching Political Sciences and Religion Studies. After our weekly discussion and research, we decided to send this letter to express our sincere concerns regarding the current situations of Korean Christian practice, specifically the forcing and corruption that Christian Council of Korean (CCK) are committing. Personally, I do not belong to any religion, but I have strong passion in pursuing democracy and peace, feminism and solving conflicts in any aspect within the society, especially religions. Please allow me to express my doubts and sincere concerns towards the ‘Coercive Conversion Program’ and corruption within Christian Council of Korean (CCK), which are completely crimes violating basic human rights. It does not make sense to us that it is existing in a democratic country South Korea. After researching the protest, Coercive Conversion Program in LA, we cannot wait to point out an obvious fact that, it is completely a crime to force someone to change their religions and beliefs through violation without drawing a bottom line for human rights. The young female has the same religion belief which is Christianity as Christian Council of Korean (CCK), yet her life was ruined innocently. Therefore, we could not stop doubting that, it is only because CCK does not tolerate other doctrines within Christianity at all other than their own doctrine, and thus keeps committing crimes with ignorance of human rights, law and punishment, reputation of their own country and safety of the society. How dare CCK regard themselves even as Christians? How can they not end up ruining the whole Korean Christian world and the reputation of the South Korean Politics? Even myself as a non-believer, I am well aware of the love, kindness and faithfulness that Christianity has been conveying throughout generations, and thus I cannot understand the acts and crimes committed by CCK. Korean government should investigate CCK and charge their crimes as an official, and terminate their positions leading Korean Christians.

Coercive Conversion: 2 murders & 1000+ kidnappings in South Korea today Hello Everyone, For anyone with an interest in basic human rights and religious freedom, I’d like to bring your attention to a tragedy taking place in the Republic of Korea (yes, South Korea - not north). I’d like to ask you two questions. Do you believe that everyone should have the freedom to believe in whatever they want to believe in, as long as it doesn’t threaten another individual or organisation? Do you believe that religious freedom is one’s basic human right that must be protected? If so, let me tell you about a heinous practice called ‘coercive conversion’. In July 2016, a young woman called Ji-In Gu was forcibly taken to a Catholic monastery by her parents after being deceived by ‘pastors’ of the Christian Council of Korea (CCK) that her daughter had fallen into a ‘cult’. After receiving emotional and psychological abuse for refusing to agree to ‘conversion education’ over a period of 44 days, she escaped. On 4th June 2017, she wrote and sent a letter to the then-president of Korea pleading with him to bring her captors to justice and to criminalise this practice. She signed off her letter “I hope there won't be any more victims like me”. In January 2018, she was dead. She had been kidnapped a second time and died of asphyxiation in her struggle to escape. Coercive conversion is a programme designed by the Christian Council of Korea (CCK) designed to forcibly convert one’s religion to another against their will. According to Human Rights Association for Victims of Coercive Conversion Programs (HRAVCCP), two people have been killed and over 1000 have forcibly received coercive conversion education from 2003-2017, with other cases including imprisonment and enforced hospitalization in psychiatric wards. The other victim was hammered to death by her ex-husband on 7th October 2007 for refusing to renounce her religious beliefs. Even though rallies have been held in 23 cities in 15 countries since January 2018, the Korean government continues to remain silent about this matter. However, news circulated again and a news feature was broadcast on NBC and most recently, an article published in the New York Times. If you believe all human rights - including religious freedom - must be protected, please join in the protest against the Christian Council of Korea and Coercive Conversion and support religious freedom. Get informed, get involved and help protect victims like Ji-In Gu.
