North Korea is for the eighth straight year the world’s top persecutor of Christians, according to Open Doors’ 2010 World Watch List.
Excellent report from OpenDoorsUSA on global persecution of Christians, broken down into country rank. The report is on this link:-
The World Watch List (WWL) is a ranking of 50 countries where persecution of Christians for religious reasons is worst. First of all, the list covers persecution of Christians of all denominations in the entire country. The focus is on persecution for the faith, not persecution for political, economic, social, ethnic or accidental reasons.
The top 10 countries were:
1. North Korea
2. Iran
3. Saudi Arabia
4. Somalia
5. Maldives
6. Afghanistan
7. Yemen
8. Mauritania
9. Laos
10. Uzbekistan
Iran has overtaken Saudi, not because anything improved for Christians in Saudi, but simply because Iran grew worse in 2009.
