North Korea worst persecutor of Christians

Wednesday, February 4, 2009

The oppressive, isolated country of North Korea headed by dictator Kim Jong Il retains its grip as the worst persecutor of Christians in the world.

According to Open Doors' 2008 World Watch List released today, North Korea is ranked No 1 for the seventh year in a row. Christians are persecuted constantly under the communist government, which denies human rights to its citizens.

The Wahhabi kingdom of Saudi Arabia is No 2 and Iran No 3. Both countries are ruled by Shariah law. the rest image
