388 million: that’s the number of Christians persecuted worldwide. They live under the constant threat of violence, attacks, kidnappings, and administrative or social discrimination. These persecutions, documented by numerous international organizations, constitute one of the most widespread and silent human rights violations of our time. We call on French, European, and international institutions to: - Officially recognize the severity of the persecution experienced by Christians, - Strengthen diplomatic pressure on states where these violations are confirmed, - Support NGOs and local actors who protect threatened communities, - Establish an annual monitoring mechanism on religious freedom and violence targeting Christians, - Ensure the shelter and protection of persons forced to flee their country due to their faith. Freedom of conscience is a fundamental right. No community should live in fear because of their beliefs. By signing this petition, you are participating in a collective mobilization to end these violences and ensure that every person's dignity is respected.
On the night of January 28 to 29, a particularly deadly jihadist attack struck Borno State in Nigeria. Dozens of soldiers, workers, and civilians were killed in an ambush claimed by ISWAP, an armed group active in northeastern Nigeria for more than fifteen years.This region lives in constant insecurity: over 40,000 deaths, two million displaced persons, entire villages emptied, infrastructure destroyed, and a Christian and Muslim population caught between armed groups and lacking sufficient protection. Mass kidnappings, including in places of worship, are increasing and fueling daily fear.In the face of this new attack, we cannot remain mere spectators. The residents of northeastern Nigeria need genuine international support: enhanced humanitarian aid, protection of civilians, support to local authorities and organizations on the ground.This petition calls on France and the European Union to act quickly to support the affected populations and to help prevent further tragedies.Together, we can pressure for this forgotten crisis to finally receive the attention and resources it deserves.
