Three days after the U.N. released an extensive report on human rights violations in North Korea, the government has arrested yet another missionary. Australia John Short was taken by the North Korean government a year after the arrest of American missionary Kenneth Bae, who has yet to be released. The missionaries are just 2 of 200,000 foreigners kidnapped since 1950, according to a recently released UN report on North Korean human rights abuses.

The report detailed the Kim Jong Un regime's torture, rape, starvation, imprisonment and slavery of North Koreans, based on 300 interviews with survivors who escaped the country. The report urges the U.N. Security Council to take the crimes to International Criminal Court. China, a permanent member of the Security Council, has taken a position against referring human rights violations to the International Criminal Court.

From government installed home speakers blaring propaganda to mass prison camps full of torture and starvation, hundreds of pages testify to the horrors within North Korea.
