Christian Solidarity International (CSI) is a Christian human rights NGO that is "committed to defending religious liberty, helping victims of religious repression, victimized children, and victims of disaster."[1] It is based in Switzerland, with affiliates in the United States, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, and South Korea.
In 2009, CSI published a study of the abduction and forced marriage of young Christian Coptic girls by Muslim families.[2] CSI is known for its campaign to liberate Sudanese slaves seized during Sudan's second civil war. They have also been active in Egypt, Iraq, the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, Latin America, and other countries and regions.
