Christian Martyrs

More or Less

Available for over a year

Were 90,000 Christians killed because of their faith in 2016, as a new report claims? The figure comes from The Center for the Study of Global Christianity and was published earlier this month. But another report published this week says that 1,207 were killed – that’s from Open Doors, an organisation which helps persecuted Christians. So how did two groups, apparently looking at the same thing, come up with such different numbers? And who, if anyone, is right?
