Nigeria, Nicaragua, Syrien und Indien werden im Index der zunehmenden Christenverfolgung genanntübersetzt

International Christian Concern (ICC) released its 2026 Global Persecution Index, offering an in-depth analysis of the persecution Christians face in more than 20 countries and recommendations for how policymakers and organizations can combat escalating violations.

“This year’s Global Persecution Index is a sobering reminder that millions of our brothers and sisters in Christ continue to pay a high price for their faith,” Shawn Wright, president of ICC, said in a statement .

ICC ist eine gemeinnützige Organisation, die die verfolgte christliche Kirche durch Unterstützung, Fürsprache und Sensibilisierung auf der ganzen Welt unterstützt.

The index, “Faces of the Persecuted,” was created by ICC as more than 388 million Christians worldwide — or 1 in 7 believers — live under "high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith,” according to the report.

The index highlights the leaders of countries where persecution is worsening including Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Der Index skizziert Trends in der Religionsfreiheit, die den Anstieg der Verfolgung, einschließlich religiöser…, begünstigen.
