"Below, we look at the top 10 countries where Christian  persecution is highest. In many of these countries, life is already difficult. Making the decision to follow Jesus and live as a Christian is a choice that puts your life, family’s lives and livelihood in further jeopardy. In certain countries like North Korea, Afghanistan and Somalia, converting to Christianity can be a death warrant. And in 2020, we saw the pandemic crisis reveal the ugliness of persecution in new ways, as Christian families were denied government-assisted COVID-19 relief they desperately needed to survive."

"Once again, Afghanistan almost tied with North Korea’s No. 1 ranking. An Islamic state by constitution, the country does not permit any faith other than Islam to exist. It is impossible to live openly as a Christian in Afghanistan—Christian converts face dire consequences if their new faith is discovered."
