Christians in Nigeria are facing ongoing and deadly persecution, and the world is not doing enough.
For a brief moment, global attention turned to Nigeria. Images of burned churches and grieving families filled our screens. Governments issued statements. Then the headlines faded, but the violence did not stop.
Today, many Christian communities in Nigeria continue to live in fear.
Armed groups regularly attack villages, destroy places of worship, and abduct innocent people simply because of their faith. Families are displaced, communities are shattered, and lives are lost — often without accountability.
Faith should never be a death sentence.
Yet Nigeria has become one of the most dangerous places in the world to practise Christianity. Reports indicate that thousands of Christians have been killed in recent years, with attacks continuing across several regions.
As people around the world reflect on faith, peace, and hope, many Nigerian Christians are enduring unimaginable suffering, losing homes, loved ones, and their sense of safety.
This cannot continue.
Right now, there is an opportunity for the international community to act. The United Nations Human Rights Council has the authority to address this crisis, but only if there is enough global pressure.
We call on the United Kingdom’s delegation to the United Nations to take a strong and decisive stand by supporting:
- An urgent debate at the UN Human Rights Council on the persecution of Christians in Nigeria
- Targeted sanctions and visa restrictions against those responsible for these attacks
- International aid that is conditional on the verified protection of vulnerable communities
The tools to act already exist. What is needed now is the political will.
Your voice matters.
By signing this petition, you are helping to:
- Break the silence
- Raise global awareness
- Demand accountability
- Support those who feel forgotten
We must not allow the world to look away again.
Stand in solidarity with those facing persecution.
Sign this petition today and call for urgent international action.
