Persecuted Christians

A desecrated church, one of many destroyed by the enemy.

These are the 10 nations with the worst treatment of Christians, because of ongoing persections going on in these countries:
1. North Korea – Christians here are considered enemies of the state. Between 200,000 and 400,000 are living in fear in North Korea, with between 50,000 and 70,000 in labor camps.
2. Afghanistan – people here are expected to profess the Muslim faith, and so Christians are sent to mental hospitals, tortured and killed. So Christians live their faith in secret.
3. Somalia – Muslim Militants here kill Christians when discovered. Islam is the official religion and so Christians pray in secret.
4. Libya – around 38,000 Christians here are migrant workers. They are allowed to pray in private but radical Islamists attack them, while Bibles are not allowed anywhere.
5. Pakistan – Christians here form 2% of the 3.9 million population, and are often discriminated upon. Dirty work is usually given to Christians.
6. Sudan – 2 million Christians live here in constant fear, as only Islam is accepted here
7. Eritrea – 2.3 million Christians are made up of 3 religions recognized by the Government, including Catholics. Everyone else is considered an enemy of the state. Christians are often sent to hard labor or imprisoned.
8. Yemen – Muslims who leave their religion are often killed by their own family. Christians here amount to a few thousands and live in secret all their life.
9. Iran – the 800,000 Christians living here are a constant threat to the Islamic Republic. They are not allowed to lead religious services in the Iranian language. Prison awaits those who abandon Islam.
10. India – There are 64 million Christians in India but they are only a small percentage of the population. A militant group associated with the Government want all Christians to leave the country by 2021. Every year Christians are attacked and no punishment is given to their attackers.
