Fred Warmbier, Hyesook, Hyeon-a, Hyeon-seo, and Ji Seong-ho were invited to South Korea by Mr Pence to share how persecution by North Korea has affected them.
Ji Seong-ho shared with the group how a Bible got her in trouble with the government back in 1998.
She said: “I’m a Christian, and when I was in North Korea, I came across a Bible.
“And because I read the Bible, I was taken by the national security agency, and as a result, I decided to escape North Korea. Afterwards, I made three more attempts, but every time I was forced to be sent back to North Korea. I was successful on my fourth attempt.”
She added that during her attempt to escape North Korea, she was trafficked by a human trafficker and got pregnant.
“Because I got pregnant outside of North Korea, when I was repatriated to North Korea, I was forced to abort my baby without any anaesthetics,” she said.
“I spent some time in prison camp. And it was only 2007; finally, I was able to escape North Korea and was able to come to South Korea. It took 10 years for me to be able to do so.”
Karen & I were honored to meet w/ victims of the oppressive North Korean regime. We heard the harrowing stories of defectors who risked life & limb for freedom, & from Fred Warmbier, father of the late Otto Warmbier. We admire their resilience. #VPinASIA pic.twitter.com/90kUlGSXG7
