The CCP’s War On Faith-genocide of Uyghur Muslims, atrocities against Tibetan Buddhists and Falon Gong, imprisonment of Christians and desecration of churches, are all gross violations of Article 18 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Good to see @dsnorthnorth speaking
Concerning reports from China about the detention of the Zion House Church leaders. https://t.co/2uIXqQ7cuj Freedom of religion or belief is a fundamental human right. This is a worrying indication of further persecution of Christians in China.

I am deeply grieved by the vile attack on the @Ch_JesusChrist in #Michigan. On a Fast Sunday of charity, lives were cruelly taken. We stand in solemn solidarity with the victims, their families, and the community. We fight for #ReligiousFreedom to prevent this from happening.

The deadly attack on a synagogue in #Manchester on #YomKippur, the holiest day of the #Jewish calendar, is a grave reminder that hatred and the killing of innocent people must never be normalized. We must fight #antisemitism, strengthen protection, and promote #tolerance & #FoRB.

This is the speech I would have given in @UKParliament against assisted suicide. @UKHouseofLords must resist the drum beat of euthanasia demanding, instead, world class comprehensive palliative and hospice care. https://t.co/BoeYYmUuQf -and
📺MUST SEE: Much-loved peer @DavidAltonHL is unable to speak at Second Reading of the assisted suicide Bill in the House of Lords after sustaining spinal injuries in a bus crash. Watch the speech he would have given: a passionate plea to reject the Bill & protect the vulnerable.

We are sorry @danny_kruger has left the true home of #conservatives. We are grateful for his past contribution to @CCF_UK and will pray for him and other Christians in all political parties as we all seek the renewal of our nation.

Full of gratitude for the NHS staff who attended to me and others at the scene and in hospital. Thanks also to those who have sent messages. Out of action for a while, but Ministers hoping for a period of respite may be disappointed, as I'll still have access to email. 🙏

I went to war-torn #Ukraine to stand with @ZelenskyyUa and religious leaders: 652 sacred places in rubble, 67 faith leaders killed. And yet their spirit endures. Ukrainians must be free to worship without fear. Truth and love must prevail over lies and hatred. #FoRB #IRFBA

Marking the International Day for Victims of Violence Based on Religion or Belief, see my article for @TheHillOpinion, "Remember Iraq's Yezidis," on their ongoing plight, the need for US leadership to help, and the importance of American diplomacy to combat persecution.

Religious hatred is a warning sign: when we stop seeing each other’s humanity, we lose our way. Belief should never be met with violence. On this International Day, we honor and remember all the victims of violence based on religion.

On this International Day of #ReligiousFreedom, I think of the brave men and women believers of all faiths tortured by authoritarian regimes. Their suffering reminds us why we fight. But their courage gives us hope: freedom of religion will prevail. #IRFBA

I am disturbed by reports of the detention of Pastor Rudy Palacios Vargas in #Nicaragua and four others. Since their detention on 17 July, authorities have failed to reveal their whereabouts, which may amount to an enforced disappearance. #FoRB 🇳🇮 @WGEID

Eleven years since the #YazidiGenocide began. Hundreds of women and girls are still missing. Families continue to live in camps, waiting to return home. The #Yazidis are resilient, but they need our help: Help bring justice. Help bring the girls home. #HumanRights #FoRB #IRFBA

I gave a speech today in an empty chamber. It’s about the need for a Christian restoration.
