Urgent Call to Defend Persecuted Christians in Myanmar

The recent focus on ongoing Christian persecution in Myanmar highlights a humanitarian crisis that cannot be overlooked.
The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) held a critical hearing examining the severe mistreatment of Christians since the military coup that overthrew Myanmar's government four years ago.
It has become increasingly clear that Myanmar’s Christian population is facing systematic persecution under the oppressive regime of the State Administration Council (SAC).
Reports indicate that religious minorities, particularly Christians, are subjected to arrests, killings, and destruction of places of worship.
During the USCIRF hearing, Vice Chair Meir Soloveichik expressed alarm over the recent rise in targeted attacks, including devastating airstrikes that took innocent lives, including children at a church.
Salai Za Uk Ling, the executive director of the Chin Human Rights Association, detailed the grim reality for Christians, stating, “These actions include the destruction of churches, unlawful killing, and enforced disappearance of pastors.”
The Christian community in Myanmar is not only enduring physical violence but is also grappling with severe restrictions on their fundamental rights to worship freely.
The dire circumstances facing Christians in Myanmar underscore the critical need for international attention and support.
The USCIRF's findings should serve as a clarion call for the United States to more actively engage in defending religious freedom around the globe, particularly in nations where such freedoms are under direct threat.
This aligns with the values of conservatives who prioritize human rights and stand firm against oppression, both at home and abroad.
By shining a spotlight on the persecution in Myanmar, the United States can reaffirm its commitment to supporting those whose fundamental freedoms are being violated, and hope to inspire change through concerted diplomatic efforts.
