It's so horrible to hear of persecution of ANY kind and not be able to help in any way. Yes, I know what you mean. There is really no escape. Religion. Either warring or persecuting, especially when they know they can get away with it and never be held accountable. What happened there was mass assault. Do they not have ANY civil rights or otherwise laws in that country?
