Global Christian Relief Unveils Alarming Rise in Religious Persecution

Violent acts of religious persecution are being tracked for the first time.

In a groundbreaking initiative, global Christian relief organization has launched a comprehensive database to track violent acts of religious persecution around the world. Since its establishment in 2022, the organization has documented over 6,000 incidents of religious persecution, including killings, arrests, and forced marriages. The aim of this database is to raise awareness about the growing problem of religious discrimination and attacks against people of faith.

The president of the global Christian relief organization, David Curry, explained that the database draws attention to the alarming rise in violent attacks on religious minorities over the past decade. By collecting data from various public sources and collaborating with the International Institute for Religious Freedom, the organization has compiled irrefutable proof of forced marriages, attacks on churches, and the unjust arrest of individuals based solely on their faith. The database serves as a baseline for understanding the scale of this human rights issue, which revolves around the freedom to believe and practice one's faith.
