We offer the World Watch List free as part of our mission at Open Doors to inform and inspire others with the message of the persecuted church. Join the cause of persecuted Christians and share the World Watch List with your friends and family.
Inside the World Watch List you will find an extensive treatment of each of the top countries. You will learn how persecution has intensified or decreased in the last year and projections for the coming year.
This year North Korea has topped the list again.
"There is no other country in the world where Christians are being persecuted in such a horrible and systematic manner," says Nigel Rooke, CEO of Open Doors Australia.
One expert on North Korea stated: "Christians are the target of fierce government action, and once caught, are not regarded as human. Last year we had evidence that some [of those captured] were used as guinea pigs to test chemical and biological weapons."
