AS IT IS 2015-12-18 North Korea Sentences Canadian Pastor 1 to Prison 朝鲜判处加拿大籍牧师无期劳教


North Korea’s highest court has sentenced a Canadian clergyman to life in prison with hard labor 2.


The court said the Reverend Hyeon Soo Lim was guilty of crimes against the North Korean state. The Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported that he was found guilty of anti-government activities and spreading false propaganda.


Lim is the head pastor at the 3,000-member Light Korean Presbyterian Church in Toronto. He was detained earlier this year. Church officials say the clergyman went to North Korea on January 30 for a humanitarian 4 trip. They said he planned to visit an orphanage 5, a nursery and a center for older adults.


In July, Lim appeared at a press conference, where he read a statement. He admitted to crimes against the state. A video made in August showed him admitting guilt 3 at a church in Pyongyang.


Some foreigners who have been detained in North Korea and later released say they were forced to make similar statements.


Lim was born in South Korea, but immigrated 6 to Canada in 1986. Before his arrest, he had made 100 visits to North Korea.
