MP lobbying for India – you can make all the difference!
Since the UK election, hundreds of you have written to your MP’s welcoming them to their post and raising the issue of religious freedom. Read on to get involved with the next step in the conversation. Today we want you to lobby your MP about religiously-motivated violence in India as part of CSW’s Inclusive India campaign. In recent years, there has been an increase in religiously-motivated violence against minorities in India - the attacks in Orissa in 2008 being the worst outbreak of anti-Christian violence in post-independence India. There is an ongoing pattern of violence against Christians in several Indian states.

China: Gao Zhisheng disappears again
We reported in March that Christian human rights lawyer, Gao Zhisheng, had reappeared alive after thirteen months of international pressure. Only weeks later he went missing again, and hasn’t been seen since. Fears of Gao’s disappearance clearly highlight the worsening situation for human rights lawyers who bring cases against the government.
>>> Pray for Gao and his family |
