Attacks against Christians are rising, fuelled by right-wing nationalism, while growing numbers of Christians are being arrested under anti-conversion laws. Two investigations are underway into the alarming rise in attacks against Christians and other religious minorities in India. According to International Christian Concern, since 2020 nearly 400 Christians have been charged and jailed in Uttar Pradesh alone. The court granted bail to Christians accused of breaking the anti-conversion law. It supports prisoners of faith and their families, Christians suffering oppression and violence, and those forced to flee.
