(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Saudi Arabia rejected from Human Rights Council During a vote last week at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, representatives rejected Saudi Arabia’s bid for membership on the influential Human Rights Council, reports International Christian Concern. Voting for a spot on the council is broken up geographically, with six countries vying for five open spots. The Marshall Islands won the fifth seat, beating Saudi Arabia by just seven votes. Previously, Saudi Arabia has sat as a member of the Human Rights Council. Madeleine Sinclair with the International Service for Human Rights said, “We are relieved that enough states took their record on human rights into account when voting. Saudi Arabia’s record is a laundry list of the kinds of abuses the Council should seek to address.” The

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chinese Communists released church elder from prison Chinese authorities released a house church elder on bail last Tuesday. Elder Zhu Longfei of Shunde Shengjia Church had suffered in prison for 14 months. Police arrested him last year for printing Bible study materials, characterizing it as “printing and distributing illegal publications that seriously endanger social order and disrupt market order, with particularly serious circumstances.” Through Longfei’s imprisonment, China Aid noted “the Lord’s name was spread and greatly glorified because of this.” Like many other congregations, his church operates illegally outside of China’s officially recognized church. Such house churches face harassment, raids, and arrests. In Acts 5:29, the apostles said, “We must obey God rather than men

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Britain burdens parents with tax on private school tuition The U.K. Labor government will require private schools to charge a value-added tax on school fees starting next year. Christian schools are challenging the measure with the help of the Christian Legal Centre. The group warned “the policy will force Christian schools to close and deny Christian parents the right to give their children a Christian rather than a secular education.” Nearly 400,000 students attend independent faith schools in England, most of which are Christian. Andrea Williams with the Christian Legal Centre said, “It is unfair, and we argue, it is a breach of their human right to impose a value-added tax on such schools. [The] Labour [Party] must row back on this policy urgently. If they don’t, we will have no choice

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Praying at home may be illegal under Scottish abortion law Scotland is banning silent prayer in private homes, according to one interpretation of new pro-abortion legislation passed by the nation’s parliament As reported in the UK Telegraph, a letter has been sent to residents in an Edinburgh zone explicitly stating that: “Activities in a private place (such as a house) within the area between the protected premises and the boundary of a zone could be an offense if they can be seen or heard within the zone and are done intentionally or recklessly.” Anybody living within 200 meters of an abortion clinic in Scotland is forbidden from praying silently. Those breaking the law will be subject to a fine up to 10,000 pounds or perhaps even an evening in the lion’s den. The Scottish law reminds us

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus How Muslim Malaysia might curb religious liberty of Christians Human rights activist Siti Kasim recently raised concerns over a proposed bill that would significantly undermine religious freedom in Malaysia located in Southeast Asia. If this Muslim-majority nation, with 63% practicing Islam, passes the bill, Muslim courts would be granted greater authority, potentially eroding the rights of non-Muslims, reports International Christian Concern. Kasim argued that the bill, which aims to strengthen the role of Islamic law in the country, could have far-reaching consequences. She pointed to historical examples, such as Lebanon, where a once-dominant Christian population was gradually marginalized as Islamic influence grew. Malaysian Christians would be well advised to heed the truth found in Pro

Investigations have shown that torture, sexual violence, enslavement, and murder await those repatriated from China to detention centers in North Korea led by its Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un. At the hearing of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom on September 26, Greg Scarlatoiu, executive director of the non-governmental Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, said, “Any religious belief, and Christianity in particular, as well as South Korea, cons

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Iranian Christian released from prison 5 years early Church in Chains reports that authorities in Iran released a Christian convert from Evin Prison in Tehran last week. Mehdi Akbari had already spent nearly five years in prison out of his 10-year sentence. Thankfully, a court reduced his sentence. Officials arrested him in 2019 on charges of “acting against national security by forming an illegal evangelical Christian group.” Mansour Borji with Article 18, a non-profit religious liberty group, welcomed Mehdi’s release. He said, “We call now for the immediate release of the other at least 20 Christians still in prison only on account of their beliefs and the peaceful outworking of these beliefs, such as Armenian citizen Hakop Gochumyan, who is also serving a ten-year sentence only becaus

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 18 Christians arrested in India for evangelism Police in India arrested 18 Christians recently on false charges of trying to forcefully convert school children. The men and women were sharing the Gospel in the villages of India’s eastern state of Bihar. A school even game them permission to enter, where they shared New Testaments with the children. Police found nothing wrong with the Christians’ actions. However, local Hindu leaders threatened massive protests if the Christians were released. A local pastor told International Christian Concern, “The police also impounded our vehicles without any reason and have booked the case purely due to coercion by the Hindu fanatics.” Evangelical Alliance UK is on the rise As we reported yesterday, atheism is on the rise in the U.K., so much so t
