In India, Curry told the Breitbart News, that Open Doors receives alarming evidence that Christian health workers are in dangerous situations with little support or care for their faith. These kinds of reports are flooding and that is why we want to draw your attention to them, because I think it again highlights the issues around persecution and how difficult it is for Christians and other religious minorities. Open Doors’ concern, he added, is discrimination in exposing health workers unnecessarily to explicit danger because of their religious identity. “In some situations, I would say that it is their cultural persecution, where Christians put themselves on the front lines with the most contagious, as they are considered demanding,” Curry said. The CEO of Open Portes added that he believed the Trump administration knew about ongoing issues of Christian persecution under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Hindu nationalist. “Christians in India are facing horrific levels of extreme violence; thousands of attacks occur every year. Various states of India have passed anti-conversion laws and the ruling Hindu nationalist party Bharatiya Janata (BJP). ) Curry also noted that several other nations that discriminate against Christians, notably China, Iran and North Korea, have been persecuted during the current crisis. “In many cases these Christians are considered enemies of the state, for example, in North Korea and elsewhere, and so they have been offered medical care: food and water, they are the last to receive them. Curry wondered if China would allow many churches currently closed to prevent the rapid spread of the virus from reopening after the crisis.
