'''Christianity in Libya''' is the story of Christianity's survival in another extremely war-torn region. It is ranked #3 in terms of countries where Christians are most persecuted by [[Open Doors]] in 2024. <ref>https://www.opendoors.org/en-US/persecution/countries/libya/</ref>
__TOC__
== What does persecution look like in Libya? ==
"Libya continues to be a place with very little political stability. Much of the country exists in a sort of perpetual anarchy, ruled over by militias linked to the official government in the West of the country or by the Libyan National Army in the East, with strong Islamist influences in both cases. Due to lawlessness, Christians can easily be targets for violence and death.
Converts from Islam face the most intense and violent pressure from their family and community. They risk house arrest, attack, abduction, sexual violence and murder. It is incredibly dangerous for converts to meet together to worship, and church life is almost non-existent."
