Each year the organisation Open Doors compiles a list of the countries where severe persecution of Christians occurs. For the last four years, communist North Korea has been the worse offended, closely followed by Islamic Saudi Arabia, Iran, Somalia and the Maldives. Its 2007 list of the ten countries where persecution of Christians is worst is as follows
In some countries, such as North Korea and Saudi Arabia, it is unlawful for a citizen to be a Christian, and public conversion is punishable by execution. In many Islamic countries, although conversion is illegal, it is not officially punished, however, family members often take the law into their own hands by honour killings.
