Neville Kyrke-Smith, ACN’s national director, said: “Despite highlighting the genocidal attacks on Christians and other minorities in the Middle East, the secular press showed little interest in the Religious Freedom in the World Report and there was no national television coverage.

“It is those who are suffering at this time who are left abandoned unless ACN and other charities respond to their terrible plight.”
