In this Friday, Jan. 9. 2014 photo, a photo of 26-year-old dentist Jeon Seong-Jin is shown by his father Jeon Jang-Beom and mother Yoon Hyun-Jin during an interview in Seoul, South Korea. Jeon Seong-Jin is being punished for a crime that is not a crime at all in most of the world. A Jehovah’s Witness, he has refused to become a soldier in South Korea, where all able-bodied male citizens are required to serve about 21 months in the army. More than 660 conscientious objectors were jailed each year in South Korea from 2004 to 2012, far more than any other country. Eritrea comes in second with only about 50 imprisoned, according to the official website of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who often refuse military service because they believe the Bible forbids warfare.
