Persecution Worldwide In more than 40 nations around the world today Christians are being persecuted for their faith. In some of these nations it is illegal to own a Bible, to share your faith Christ, change your faith or teach your children about Jesus. Those who boldly follow Christ—in spite of government edict or radical opposition—can face harassment, arrest, torture and even death. Yet Christians continue to meet for worship and to witness for Christ, and the church in restricted nations is growing. Areas of the world where Christians face persecution include: Afghanistan Algeria Azerbaijan Bangladesh Belarus Bhutan Brunei Burma (Myanmar) Chiapas, Mexico China Colombia Comoros Cuba Egypt Eritrea Ethiopia Gaza and the West Bank India Indonesia Iran Iraq Jordan Kuwait Kyrgyzstan Laos Lebanon Libya Malaysia Maldives Mindanao, Philippines Mauritania Morocco Nepal Nigeria North Korea Oman Pakistan Qatar Saudi Arabia Somalia Sri Lanka Sudan Syria Tajikistan Tibet (China) Tunisia Turkey Turkmenistan United Arab Emirates Uzbekistan Vietnam Yemen For more information on these countries and persecution worldwide, visit persecution.
