Several hundred people gathered on the Bundesplatz in Bern on Saturday to commemorate the persecution of Christians around the world. This was observed by a reporter from the Keystone-SDA news agency on site.

With the demonstration, they wanted to set an example for the observance of religious freedom. In 78 countries, Christians are being persecuted for their faith, in some cases on a massive scale, according to an appeal by several Christian organizations. This "inconceivable violation of human rights" is hardly known and must be made public.

With the rally, "we are giving a voice to the persecuted", they said. At the same time, it encourages those affected and shows them that they are not forgotten.
