(CBN) – Turkish-led jihadist troops advancing on a Syrian Christian town could begin an ethnic cleansing campaign in the next few hours, attorney and religious freedom advocate Lauren Homer tells CBN News. Homer, an attorney with Law and Liberty International, has been working with Christians and other religious minorities in Northeast Syria for years.
These groups enjoyed religious freedom under a new democratic government there called the Self Administration of Northeast Syria (SANES). She warns, “150,000 Christians in Northeast Syria face extinction or exile AT THIS VERY MOMENT due to savage attacks by Turkey’s President Erdogan.” She’s asking American Christians to pray and to encourage their pastors to pray to hold special prayers on Sunday for their brothers and sisters in peril and contact those leaders who can make a difference.
Here’s the full text of Homer’s letter to CBN News Middle East Bureau Chief Chris Mitchell: “At this very moment, 150,000 Christians in Northeast Syria face extinction or exile due to savage attacks by Turkey’s President Erdogan. Christians have already fled from areas along the Turkey-Syria border, along with their Kurdish and Arab neighbors—400,000 total refugees. FULL REPORT
