On this page, I'm using "martyrdom" in a "narrow" sense: to describe an autocephalous (independent) movement person who has suffered imprisonment and/or beatings and/or death due to their witness to Jesus.
In the "broader" sense, (receiving serious harrassment from other churches and/or clergy because we're in the independent movement), there are many more of us who are martyrs.
