Open Doors: 380 million Christians face persecution

One in seven Christians across the world now face “high levels of persecution and discrimination” for their beliefs. The Open Doors annual World Watch List revealed that over 380 million Christians are suffering persecution, 15 million more than last year. Almost 4,500 Christians were killed for their faith in 2024, 69 percent of whom were in Nigeria. North Korea remains the most dangerous country to follow Jesus, followed by Somalia and Yemen. Speaking at the parliamentary launch of the World Watch List, the Government’s UK Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief, David Smith, said: “These freedoms, which we take for granted, are ones we should share with our international partners around the world. “We mustn’t shy away from that. We’ve got to recommit ourselves to tackling persecution in every way that we can.”
