Persecution in Libya

Since 1969, Muammar al-Qaddafi has single-handedly ruled Libya. This dictator is perhaps best known for his association with other radical regimes and terrorist groups. But even Qaddafi is legitimately concerned about the growing threat of Islamists in his country. For this reason, he has attempted to appease Muslims by broadening Islamic law.

Almost all Christians are foreign workers, and their meetings are strictly monitored by the government.
