Middle East Concern (MEC) was established in 1991 to defend the religious freedom of Christians in the Middle East and North Africa. Since that time MEC has published Annual Reports only for MEC member organisations and member individuals. However, for the first time MEC is now making a version of the MEC Annual Report publicly available.
If you would like to download the PDF file of the MEC Annual Report for 2016, it is available via the Resources page of the MEC web site (meconcern.org/resources) at:

- an overview of the Middle East and North Africa region – and how the regional situation affected Christian communities
- analysis of trends – in countries, in themes and in numbers
