Bill > HRes594

This resolution condemns the widespread persecution of Christians in Muslim-majority countries by highlighting specific instances of discrimination, violence, and human rights violations across numerous nations. The resolution draws on data from Open Doors' World Watch List 2025, which indicates that over 380 million Christians worldwide suffer high levels of persecution, with particular emphasis on countries like Nigeria, where thousands of Christians are killed annually, and other nations including Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, Gaza, Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Indonesia. The resolution details various forms of persecution, including church closures, arrests, forced conversions, physical violence, harassment, torture, and systemic discrimination. Ultimately, the resolution calls on the U.S. House of Representatives to condemn these actions, encourages the President to prioritize the protection of persecuted Christians in U.S. foreign policy, and recommends using diplomatic tools, including trade and national security discussions, to advance the protection of Christians in Muslim-majority countries.
