Launch of the Religious Freedom Report around the world

Around the world, people joined ACN’s campaign for religious freedom. From Chile to Australia – through Brazil, Mexico, USA, Canada, Portugal, Spain, France, Ireland, UK, Belgium, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, Malta, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Philippines – cathedrals, churches, schools, colleges, universities, public buildings were illuminated red in memory of the blood of the martyrs shed because of religious persecution. People made a stand for faith and freedom, wearing red, praying and taking a moment of the day to reflect on the sad situation of lack of religious freedom in many countries of the world. #ReligiousPersecution #ReligiousFreedom
