On Monday, ECR MEP Bert-Jan Ruissen together with EPP MEP Michaela Sojdrova will host conference focusing on Christian persecution in Africa, followed by a photo exhibition highlighting personal stories.

Christian persecution is a growing problem worldwide. Africa in particular is a deadly continent for Christians, due to radical groups like Boko Haram, Fulani, and IS. Violence because of religion and belief costs thousands of lives every year. The conference will hear from the NGOs Open Doors and Stichting de Ondergrondse Kerk (SDOK). The conference will begin at 16:00 in room SPAAK 7C50. The photo exhibition will open at 18:00 on SPINELLI 3G, near the Voxbox area.
