‼️ NEW: Following targeted attacks on churches, Christians in the DRC have been left unable to worship.
We are legally supporting a case demanding a halt to these attacks and financial compensation to rebuild destroyed churches.

🚨An Iraqi court has ruled that a young Christian woman can be recorded as Christian, not Muslim, in the state's official database. She was reassigned to Islam as a child by operation of law when her mother remarried.
Consequences include forced religious schooling, marriage barriers, inheritance disputes, implications for birth certificates, and exposure of non-Muslims to Sharia courts. No state should have the power to permanently assign a person's religion.
This matters well beyond Iraq. In Egypt, Pakistan, Malaysia, Bangladesh and elsewhere, governments record citizens' religion and make it difficult or impossible to change.
⚔️ROGUE BILL FALLS AS PARLIAMENT PROROGUED!
👀WATCH the moment at 13.56 today when the parliamentary session ended and the assisted suicide bill officially fell. Many thousands of lives have been saved. The flawed Bill was dangerous, divisive & distracting, but is now dead.
A fantastic result that we welcome. But this prosecution, and others like it, should never have been brought because the offer of a chat 💬 or a silent prayer 🙏should not be criminal.
BREAKING: A judge yesterday dismissed charges against 75-year-old Scottish grandmother Rose Docherty, who was arrested for offering consensual conversation in a “buffer zone”.
Watch Rose’s reaction to the free speech victory, outside court yesterday:
🚨UK sporting bodies are breaching the law and ignoring scientific evidence by allowing men to participate in women's sports.
The Supreme Court was unambiguous – sporting bodies should be too.

‼️The international pushback against assisted suicide continues.
Alberta has passed new legislation restricting the use of assisted dying in the medical field, making the practice into a "last resort" intervention.
This marks another step forward in protecting medical patients and ending assisted suicide.
👇READ MORE from @nationalpost:
"Alberta’s Safeguards for Last Resort Termination of Life Act signals a fundamental policy and ethical correction: medical assistance in dying must remain an exceptional, end-of-life intervention and should not become routine or replace the provision of proper medical, disability, and social care."

Female athletes deserve to compete fairly.
That's why we are teaming up with Olympic swimmer @sharrond62 to ensure that biological males are prevented from competing on women's sports teams.

It is high time the sports bodies still entranced by transgender ideology had a legal rocket put under them.
Comment on a powerful and necessary move by @sharrond62 and @TracyEdwardsMBE at @wsusportsunion https://t.co/NvWVZchess
Women and girls are suffering the consequences, right now.
There is no reason to delay standing up for them, and that's exactly what we're doing at @ADFIntl and @wsusportsunion 👇
🚨Today, @ADFIntl, together with @sharrond62 and @TracyEdwardsMBE of @wsusportsunion, sent a joint letter to 10 sporting bodies across the UK, threatening legal action if they fail to protect fairness and safety in female sports from transgender ideology.
Longer limbs, higher bone density, increased muscle mass...just some of the irreversible advantages of male athletes, with performance gaps of 10-30%, and up to 162% in strength-based sports. How can anyone still claim that men in women's categories is about fairness or equality?
