Evangelism (sharing the gospel of Jesus) is outlawed in over 50 countries, the worst being North Korea where being a Christian is considered one of the worst crimes possible. These countries are mostly Muslim and Communist nations.
Also in the list are Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Maldives, Yemen, Iraq, Uzbekistan, China and Laos.
It's illegal to own as much as Bible in some of these places.
Egs:
North Korea: Bibles are banned and those found in possession of one face imprisonment, torture and even death (up to 3 generations of their family).
North Koreans are permitted to worship only the nation's leader Kim Jon-un. Wow!
Somalia: Believers here often practise their faith in extreme secrecy and cannot own Bibles.
Maldives: Importing a Bible is forbidden and there is no complete translation of the Bible into their official language.
Morocco: It's illegal to carry a Bible translated into Arabic. Also Christian children are not given religious education.
Libya: It's illegal to carry a Bible translated into Arabic. So also is distribution of Bibles and evangelism.
Uzbekistan: High penalties are imposed on those who own Bibles.
