Film on Malatya martyrs

Malatya FilmAlmost two years ago, three Christians were horribly murdered by Muslims in Turkey. A documentary film will be released next month on the second anniversary of their martyrdom.

On 18 April 2007, Necati Aydlin, Ugur Yuksel, and Tilmann Geske were killed in Malatya, Turkey—the first known Christian martyrs since the birth of the Turkish republic. Necati and Ugur were converts from Islam to Christianity.

A trailer for the film can be viewed here.

From the brochure on the project:

Before Malatya, Turkish Christians had faced constant pressure, media slander, and even torture, but no one had paid the ultimate price. Since the martyrdom, attacks and attempted murders have increased all over the country, strengthening the resolve of some and compelling others to flee. Malatya marks the beginning of a new age of persecution and purification for the Turkish Church.
