A defector from North Korea has described the torture and persecution of Christians, who pray with their eyes open and quietly hum hymns for fear of discovery.

Choi Kwanghyuk,55, has lived in the United States since 2013 when he escaped North Korea in fear for his life, describing his new life in the West as “heaven.”
