2013 Christian Persecution World Watch List

2013 Christian Persecution World Watch List

#1 EXTREME: NORTH KOREA = COMMUNIST

For the eleventh year running, this atheistic Communist nation is the most difficult place on Earth to be a Christian. Christians face arrest, detention, torture, even public execution.

#2 thru #9 and #11 EXTREME: SAUDI ARABIA, AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, SOMALIA, MALDIVES, MALI, IRAN, YEMEN, SYRIA = MUSLIM

In these Islamic nations, Christians risk imprisonment, lashing, deportation and torture. Muslims who convert to Christianity risk honour killings.

#10 EXTREME: ERITREA = STATE-CONTROLLED DENOMINATIONS ONLY

The government bans all but state-approved, registered Orthodox, Catholic, Lutheran or Islamic groups. Anyone discovered to be an evangelical is tortured and forced to revert to the registered denominations. If they don’t, they are held in military camps without trial.
