The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) says religious persecution has gotten worse around the world, the CBN (Christian Broadcast News) website reports today (January 6, 2018).
The USCIRF said people continue to be persecuted, imprisoned, and even killed for exercising their right to freedom of religion or belief.
Its annual report highlights severe religious violations that are taking place in 10 countries: Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
"North Korea religious freedom is completely non-existent. That is just one part of the huge lack of human rights in that country," noted USCIRF Chair Daniel Mark.
