Treatment Of Christians And Religious Liberty

EDM number 877 in 2009-10, proposed by Andrew Pelling on 22/02/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Religious discrimination.

That this House notes with concern evidence that the persecution of Christians is increasing around the world; welcomes the current initiative to highlight this in churches across the country on Maundy Thursday; and urges the Government to do all it can to raise and pursue concerns about human rights and religious liberty in overseas countries through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and the Department for International Development.

This motion has been signed by a total of 315 MPs.
