Libya Imprisoned Christians Receive Sentence

12/11/2025   (VOM)

Eleven Christians in Libya have been sentenced to 3 to 15 years in prison for practicing their faith. The 11 were arrested in March 2023 and sentenced in April 2025. Members of the group, which includes 9 Libyan men, one Libyan woman, and one Pakistani national, were sentenced on several charges including “insulting Islam” and “calling for the establishment of a banned group,” according to various reports. They also faced charges of apostasy for converting from Islam and could have been sentenced to death, but the court did not pursue that penalty.

Please pray…

• Pray that the Lord will comfort and strengthen these imprisoned brothers and sister and help them stand firm in their faith amid the challenges of prison.

• Pray that they will have opportunities to share the gospel with their fellow inmates, and that they will be released early.

• Pray for their families to experience God’s comfort and provision.
