As Christians worldwide celebrate Christmas, millions are also suffering from severe pressures and persecution in majority-Muslim countries. This includes post-Soviet states, countries governed by Sharia law, and officially secular nations such as Turkey.
According to a 2024 Human Rights Violations Report authored by Turkey’s Association of Protestant Churches, Christians are subject to increased hate crimes, hate speech, threats, discrimination, and dismissal from their jobs because of their religion. They also experience physical assaults, no official recognition of the Protestant church, and a lack of cemeteries for Christians. Foreign Christians are deported or banned entry by denying them residence visas. The Protestant community in Turkey is not allowed to open their own churches nor train their own spiritual leaders, forcing them to operate as ‘associations.’
