Over 7,000 Christians were murdered for their faith during the past year. North Korea recorded the highest number of persecutions, followed by Iraq.
North Korea has remained on the top slot in the Open Doors World Watch List since the last 14 years. At present, more than 50,000 Christians are expected to be holed up in the country's notorious labor camps.
The study released on January 13 says that in Iraq topped the list of Islamic countries where the persecution had risen to, "a level akin to ethnic cleansing."
