The specific answer would depend on the socio-political situation in any given place where persecution is taking place. The more general answer, however, is given by Christ himself. The disciple is not greater than the master, if Jesus Christ was crucified, Christians cannot expect to be treated any better. In fact, they are expected to unite their sufferings with those of Christ and give testimony to their faith at all times, and particularly in times of difficulty.

It is part of Christian lore that Christians are persecuted and always have been, with numerous martyrs put to death during early Roman times, but this is far from the truth.
The greatest risk of persecution would be in North Korea, where any Christians could expect to be persecuted by this oppressive Communist regime, but the risks for Buddhists would be just as great, with many more Buddhists even if they worship in secret. Some persecution of Christians occurs occasionally in Muslim-majority countries of the Middle East, but the official position of Islam is that Christians, as people of the Book, should be free to worship as they please.
Almost everywhere else, Christians are entirely free to worship freely without hindrance. The one restriction that a small minority of Christians might find irksome, is that Christians are generally not permitted to harrass or intimidate those who do not share their beliefs.
