Pope Francis has condemned the “complicit silence” about the killing of Christians during a Good Friday service in Rome.
Tens of thousands of pilgrims joined him for the Way of the Cross ceremony, recalling Jesus’ crucifixion.
Among the cross bearers were Syrian and Iraqi refugees, and Nigerians who had escaped Boko Haram persecution.
The service came a day after almost 150 people were killed in an al-Shabab attack on a Kenyan university.
