Iraqi Christians Face Ongoing Persecution Despite ISIS Defeat

Iraqi Christians continue to endure violent persecution and oppression throughout much of the country, despite the defeat of ISIS forces years ago, according to a recent report from Britain’s All-Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom of Religion or Belief.

The analysis reveals that while Christian communities in Iraq’s Kurdistan region experience relatively better conditions, believers in other areas of the nation continue to face victimization from Muslim neighbors. Christians represent approximately three percent of Iraq’s total population.
