UN International Day for Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Today, the United Nations commemorates the International Day for the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief. The general assembly recalled that states have the primary responsibility to protect the human rights of religious minorities. Statistics show more than 360 million Christians worldwide experience a high level of persecution and discrimination because of their faith. Legal Counsel for Global Religious Freedom with ADF International, Sean Nelson, joins to tell us more about this international day and especially what religions are most persecuted around the world. Nelson describes in which countries the situation for Christians is becoming increasingly difficult and why. Recently, Alliance Defending Freedom produced a documentary about a Pakistani Christian couple languished on death row for 7 years on false blasphemy charges. Nelson shares more about this story.
