Sweden demonstrates against anti-Christian violence in Iraq

In Stockholm on November 14, 2010, Iraqi Christians hold pictures of some of the 53 people who were killed on October 31 in attack at the main Syriac Catholic cathedral in Baghdad, Iraq, as they demonstrate against attacks on churches. An estimated 800,000 Christians lived in Iraq before the US-led invasion of 2003, but that number has since shrunk to around 500,000 in the face of repeated attacks against their community and churches.
