Christian Persecution: Here are the 10 Worst Countries for Christian Persecution According to a UK Report - by Amanda Casanova

The U.K. All Party Parliamentary Group has released a report listing 10 of the worst countries for religious freedom.

The report, “Article 18: From Rhetoric to Reality,” found that the countries had violated Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which protects religious liberty.

The countries in the report were:
  • Eritrea
  • Egypt
  • U.K.
  • Russia
  • Saudia Arabia
  • Iran
  • China
  • Vietnam
  • Myanmar
  • Bangladesh
The report said that nearly 80 percent of the world’s population lives in countries with “high” or “very high” levels of restrictions on religious freedoms.

Offenses against Article 18 can include both direct government denial and state failures to protect the right to religious liberty.
