Fox News is reporting that Archbishop Francis Chullikatt, the Vatican’s observer to the United Nations, will be testifying before Congress on the level of Christian persecution in the Middle East and around the world.

Chuillikatt is expected to focus on the Middle East according to prepared testimony.

“No Christian is exempt,” the text reads, “whether or not he or she is Arab.”

The hearing before a House subcommittee will be focusing on the underreporting of assaults on Christians, the targeting of Christian communities and areas in major cities along with the need to protect human rights for Christians.

The hearing will receive information on kidnappings of women and children by Islamic militants in Syria as well as beheadings of Christians who refuse to convert to Islam at the demand of the terrorists.
