Each year the organisation [[Open Doors]] compiles a list of the countries where severe persecution of Christians occurs. For the last four years, communist [[North Korea]] has been the worse offended, closely followed by Islamic Saudi Arabia, [[Iran]], [[Somalia]] and the [[Maldives]]. Its [[2007 AD|2007]] list of the ten countries where persecution of Christians is worst is as follows
# [[North Korea]]
# [[Saudi Arabia]]
# [[Iran]]
# [[Somalia]]
# [[Maldives]]
# [[Yemen]]
# [[Bhutan]]
# [[Vietnam]]
# [[Laos]]
# [[Afghanistan]]
In some countries, such as North Korea and Saudi Arabia, it is unlawful for a citizen to be a Christian, and public conversion is punishable by execution. In many Islamic countries, although conversion is illegal, it is not officially punished, however, family members often take the law into their own hands by honour killings.
