New Online Database Tracks Attacks Against Christians in Real Time

Global Christian Relief, a religious freedom advocacy group, has developed a new database that tracks attacks on Christians and people of faith in real time, bringing advocates and government officials information more quickly and shedding light on the state of global persecution. Launched on Jan. 5, the “Violent Incidents Database” (VID), updates and compiles religious freedom violations as they occur. The online tracker allows users to search incidents of anti-sectarian violence by country, region, religion, and perpetrator.
