INTERNATIONAL DAY IN COMMEMORATION OF RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION
The United Nations has established the International Day for the Commemoration of Victims of acts of Violence Based on religion and belief. The determined day is August 22.
More than 38 countries are classified as countries where persecution is bloody. Hence, the countries in which the situation has worsened in the last two years are only 16, but they affect more than 3,000 million people, representing 40% of the world’s population. Among them are China, India, North Korea, Burma or Vietnam
For these reasons, from Trinitarian International Solidarity, we support this commemoration by remembering our original Charism and so many people who suffer persecution for their faith.
In our projects and collaborations we have found people with specific names and faces to whom religious persecution has martyred and even killed them. Therefore, we show you one of the testimonies of these people that all friends and collaborators of the SIT should know.
Let us pray for all the victims of persecution because of their beliefs.
