persecution of Christians

Persecution of Christians refers to the unfair or harmful treatment of individuals because of their Christian faith. This can include social discrimination, legal restrictions, violence, or harassment by government authorities or communities. Throughout history and in some parts of the world today, Christians have faced challenges such as imprisonment, vandalism of their places of worship, or restrictions on their religious practices. Such persecution often stems from misunderstandings, conflicts over religious beliefs, or power struggles, and it highlights the ongoing struggles for religious freedom and tolerance worldwide.
