A Christian believer carries out one's life of faith based on the Bible. Nowhere in the Bible is it written that a believer should force his or her beliefs upon another. Yet this is exactly what is happening in the Republic of Korea today - in the name of religion.

The coercive conversion programme was established and is being carried out by pastors of the Christian Council of Korea (CCK). (Please see links below for a further explanation). Article 20 of the Constitution of South Korea, entitled ‘Freedom of Religion’, states “all citizens enjoy the freedom of religion”, yet, to date, more than 1200 people have been subject to this programme and two women have been murdered. Is this not a clear violation of one’s human rights on a basic level?

Thankfully, worldwide rallies attended by hundreds of thousands of people have started to be heard by global media agencies - most recently in India. The Korean government has still not yet released a single statement on this evil practice because of the shady mix between religion and politics. I believe that if we continue to raise our voices, these pastors - who escape the punishment of the legal system by inciting parents to carry out the dirty work - will be brought to justice and this practice banned. The CCK is not a religious organisation, does not serve God, violates human rights, lies about the Bible and divides Korean society. It works against the cause of peace and unification and must cease to exist.
