Terrifying Christian Persecution Unveiled: Executions, Violence Exposed
Terrifying Christian Persecution Unveiled: Executions, Violence Exposed
Persecution continues to rise across the globe, with a staggering 380 million Christians experiencing persecution and discrimination as a result of their faith, according to a new report from Open Doors US. This number is up substantially from the 365 million found to be under the same duress in last year’s “World Watch List” report, an annual ranking of the worst places in the world for Christians.
The current numbers in the “2025 World Watch List,” which was released on Jan. 15, indicate that a staggering 1 in 7 believers across the globe experience such horrors — and there’s no end to the chaos in sight. “We continue to see that these issues are rising and that the trends are alarming,” Ryan Brown, CEO of Open Doors US, told CBN News in the lead-up to the report’s release.
The persecution watchdog said North Korea remains the most difficult place in the world for Christians, with the reclusive nation claiming the top spot on the “World Watch List.” “We did even see some movement in some of their violence indicators this year, which continues to … drive those things forward,” Brown said. “After 32 years that we’ve been reporting this data, it’s been the majority of those years that North Korea has been on top of the list.”
The 2025 “World Watch List” paints a terrifying picture of what persecution looks like inside North Korea under Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un, with restrictions increasing throughout 2024. “If your Christian faith is discovered in North Korea, you will either be immediately executed or deported to a horrendous labor camp that few survive,” the report reads. “The Kim regime relies on tightly controlling people’s behavior and beliefs.”
One news report alleged that 30 teenagers were killed simply because they watched a South Korean drama — an event that shows the lengths to which an extremist regime will go to punish and subjugate. Here’s more from the World Watch List.

The Lord God didnt raise no punks so be surprised when we show though we share the sonship but Jesus Christ was crucified as the offering lamb once and for all we can fight too…
@m@n in the name of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the Christian strength. We can do all things through Christ that give us strength. Jesus said they that endure to the end shall be saved. The true Christian must pray without ceasing. God be with all my true and sincere brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. Thank you Jesus Christ.
It’s also happening here in Europe . Poland only country in Europe not affected, Poland also only country not accepting illegal immigrants aka invaders so their Christians are safe
Too bad you didn’t care about the 5,000 Christian children that Trump separated at the border with no tracking process or records of where they went!! Just lost children.
People in Indonesia probably got lower persecution rates because the Christian’s found it prudent to convert to Islam.
Can Trump help reduce these persecutions? Sanctions?
We owe to Christians arround the world to protect them from the vile satanists that rule them!
I have been incredibly abused for my faith please pray for me
Web site your spiders seeking to devour
Pray daily! It is a powerful tool to pray for another.
Yerinalist pull up a troff
LORD LAUGHS AT THE WICKED, FOR HE KNOWS THEIR DAY IS COMING
Nope
Trump likes killing Christians on the border.
The frightening thing is there are people out there who won’t believe this is actually happening
Ik weet nog dat de berekening voor deze plannen op een velletje papier was geschreven , en vervolgens was weggegooid door de verantwoordelijke ambtenaar… Het is gewoon een manier om om de voedsel productie te controleren. DE Stikstof verhouding in lucht is al 1000den jaren 78% .. En alles groeit prima!
Hold on saints. Jesus is coming.
On Saturday May 17th God said this to me:
"Watch your life!" The Church will get out; If not now, by mid-September. Tell Everybody! Do not be afraid!"
Come to Jesus before time runs out. Times of the Gentiles ends shortly.
And Britain, Christians are being persecuted there.
Where’s their rapture??!!!
This ‘pope’ is a useless puppet.
So the biggest persecutors of christians are atheistic and islamic regimes. Is anyone here surprised?
Yahuah, say fear not I will be with you, they prosecuted Me and they will prosecute you also.
The question is why has the persecution increased??? I am indigenous yo North America and Christianity has been behind the destruction of my peoples way of life. Even persecuting our people and punishing them for noncompliance to the brainwashing that was implemented by the churches. How many of these workers of god have gone and caused chaos in other countries??? If you are being prosecuted it is not cause of gods word, but the wicked ways you ministers bring with them.
We will die one day no matter what, we all have a death day, so, if so, why not in faith? So if it happens, smile as in the death we all have to have if it be from faith in Jesus then that is the best way to go.
christians have been teaching idolataries with this jesus christ
they are hunted for their sins now
they do not what GOD said
they created a religion and a cult
christians led a stray the world
they are hunted for it
Sad that Christians are suffering the same persecutions so generously inflicted on. non-approved sects and non believers in the past by Christians. For so many centuries Christians sat idly by, condoning slavery.
Great journalism and let’s make a video next about foster care reform and foster care corruption and cps reform and cps corruption because every injustice matters
Who is persecuting christians??
Look under anthony casey from ireland
God please send rescue and restoration
I am sick and tired of the same thing. I will not pay a cent for your program
Karma bus can take a long time to arrive but it will arrive
Please pray for us
These are the people we should be letting into the West, the UK
Highly recommend the book called “The Insanity of God” by Nik Ripken. Amazing book
Makes no sense LORD (God)
No Christianophobia tag line being used though, i see.
Yashua said that those who believe in him stated that there will be persecuted on all levels.
Im from Indonesia, there are no Churches arround me, no permission.demo
Perhaps if anyone of the press will have the balls to ask Pres. Trump regarding this topic, so that this issue will come into the frontline of discussions all over the world.
Us Christians need to take our faith back underground where it’s power lies. The church isn’t four walls and a priest. It’s within our famillies.
Thank you for a great interview. Really convicts us western Christians.
Seriously, what I’m seeing is more Muslims are becoming Christians, and also reason were seeing so many honor killings, and madness. Islam does not allow Muslims to leave faith to become Christian. Christians must protect each other, must protect life.
How is no body talks about Christian persecution on the news. But they they make a fuss about muslims
