Christians are being massacred in Syria by Islamic extremists. The world must wake up.
The ACLJ has uncovered a horrifying reality from our sources on the ground in Syria: Christians and other religious minorities are being systematically targeted, tortured, and slaughtered.
More than 1,300 innocent civilians have been killed in a wave of sectarian violence. Among the victims was Pastor Mezher – murdered along with 20 members of his family – including his children, parents, and siblings.
Church leaders are begging the world to act: "Pray that this cry reaches the whole world."
This is not the time for diplomatic niceties. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the violence taking place against Christians and other religious minorities in Syria. The leadership in Syria must be held accountable.
The ACLJ is taking urgent action. We are engaging international human rights advocates, preparing submissions for the U.N. Human Rights Council, and drafting memoranda to present to key congressional offices, urging them to reassess U.S. policy.
The massacre of Syrian Christians must be confronted. Be their voice. Sign our urgent petition.
