Eritrea, located in Eastern Africa, ranks among the top ten countries in the world where following Jesus is an extremely dangerous enterprise. A 3 July report by the UK-based Release International, which covers the persecuted Church worldwide, says at least 218 Christians had been arrested in Eritrea within the past 12 months, many of them women and children. The Report says around 400 Christians are currently imprisoned – indefinitely, without trial or charge – because of their faith.
