The Day of the Christian Martyr was commemorated on 29 June, remembering the 4,000 Christians a year (or 11 per day) killed for their faith.
Release International held a live Facebook event with a short video presentation featuring interviews with courageous Christians serving in Iran and Nigeria, where many believers are dying for their faith.
The interviews included Rashin Soodmand, the daughter of Hossein Soodmand who was the last Iranian Christian to be executed for apostasy – converting to Christianity.
