Attacks on Christians and church property in Europe has soared by 70 per cent in just one year, a new report has said.
Physical violence, arson, vandalism and harassment, along with increasing discrimination by public authorities rocketed in 2019-2020.
The worst five countries effected were the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain and Sweden, according to a two-year study carried out by the Vienna-based Observatory of Intolerance Against Christians in Europe.
The final report revealed the UK as the country in Europe with the most cases of legal prosecutions for alleged “hate speech” involving Christians.
