On July 12, 2018, in front of Kleine Kirche in the center of Karlsruhe, Germany, the International Society for Human Rights (ISHR) Karlsruhe Working Group launched a signature petition for the Christians from China, Iran, Iraq and other countries facing repatriation for their asylum applications having been rejected. The petition is a call on the German government, hoping that they will not repatriate Christians who fled to Germany because of persecution.
