Christian groups are among the signatories of an open letter to the new North Korean leader appealing for an end to human rights abuses in the country.
The letter says that the 24.5 million people in North Korea are “living in fear” of arbitrary detention, disappearance, torture or death.
The groups condemn the decades-long mistreatment of North Koreans at the hands of the regime, including the detention of an estimated 200,000 men, women and children for political reasons in prison or labour camps.
