While the gaze of the world is focused on Ukraine and Russia, in Afghanistan the Taliban is now going ‘door-to-door’ searching for Christians, who are then murdered for their faith.
Christian barrister Paul Diamond, who has been in constant contact with Afghan Christians since the West pulled out last summer, said they are now in hiding for their lives. He is seeking an urgent meeting with the government minister responsible for the resettlement of Afghan citizens in the UK.
Mr Diamond says that, despite the fact that Open Doors now regards Afghanistan as the ‘most dangerous country in the world for Christians to practice their religion’, the UK Government insists Christians wait until 2023 before they may even start to apply to come to the UK. He has therefore written to Victoria Atkins MP, the minister overseeing the Afghanistan Citizens Resettlement Scheme, because he says Christians cannot wait another year – they will be dead by then.
