Open Doors highlighted in April the story of a Yemeni woman who converted from Islam to Christianity.
Yemen is a tribal country, where leaving Islam is seen as a betrayal of that tribe, punishable by death. Nadeen (name changed) was born and raised in Yemen, and became a Christian in her late 20s before the civil war broke out in 2015.
She had to keep her new faith hidden as her family would probably disown her if they knew. Yemen ranks ninth on the Open Doors 2017 World Watch List of the 50 countries in which it is most difficult to live as a Christian.
