Open Doors has a list of top 10 countries that persecute Christians. Open Doors USA : "World Watch List 2006 Focus on the Top 10 1. North Korea Violations of human rights are the order of the day in the Stalinist country of North Korea, including many breaches of religious rights.

Christianity is observed as a dangerous foreign influence which stimulated the collapse of communist regimes in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union and therefore poses one of the greatest threats to the regime’s power. As a result, the North Korean authorities are making harsh efforts to root out Christianity.
