Advocacy Groups Report Escalating Christian Persecution in China, India
Persecution continues to increase against Christians throughout India and in Communist China, AgapePress reports. Representatives of organizations that minister to and advocate for believers in those countries say government authorities in both nations are severely oppressing Christians and limiting their religious freedom.
Late last month, Hindu extremists torched a church in the Indian state of Orissa after members had decorated and prepared the sanctuary for Christmas services. The Global Council of Indian Christians is investigating the church burning. Ten Indian Christian missionaries along with a pastor were beaten and arrested for singing Christmas carols.
An expert on Christian persecution within communist China says believers in that country will face increasing scrutiny from authorities.
