Monsieur Silvano Maria Tomassi, Permanent Observer of the Holy See in the United Nations, said that approximately one hundred thousand Christians are killed annually due to their religious faith.
During the 23rd round of the Interactive Dialogue between the Human Rights Council and the High Commission, Tomassi said, “Christians face serious tragedies, including eviction from their houses by force, forcing them to bear the destruction of their worship places, rape, the kidnapping of their leaders, such as what happened with the two Syrian metropolitans who were kidnapped from Aleppo.”

He added that the Middle East, Africa and Asia are the regions that witness the most violations against religious freedoms and blamed sectarian incitement, fanaticism and terrorism.
The secretary of the Papal Council for Justice and Peace, Mario Tosu, said in a speech in front of the expanding assembly of the EU Organizations for Security and Cooperation that the discrimination exercised against Christians has increased in this region despite the conferences held by the European organization.
In a statement broadcasted over Vatican Radio he added, “The discrimination against Christians should be confronted like anti-Semitism and the hatred of Islam.”
