Peninah was only 24-years-old when her husband Paul was murdered by Al-Shabaab terrorists in Kenya. Attackers with Kalashnikovs, lined the men up in the street and demanded they recite sections of the Koran. Paul was a Christian and they shot him.
In Afghanistan, the Taliban dragged Zabi's 60-year-old Christian father away into the night. After days of imprisonment his interrogators beheaded him. A few months later, her brother also disappeared. He was never seen again.
These were just two of the cases highlighted at the British Government's Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) conference in London where UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss called out religious persecution abuses in China, Hong Kong, Nigeria and Afghanistan.
