ICC Note: According to the Catholic charity report, Christian persecution is worse now than it was at any other time in human history. The report also criticizes United Nations and International community for failing to provide an adequate help to persecuted Christians. Christians in China continue to suffer persecution due to Communist ideals and many other countries are putting more pressure on Christians to abandon their faith.

It also warned that China’s 127 million-strong Christian population have suffered increased persecution over attempts to bring Christianity in line with Communist ideals.
