UK Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel Urges Action Over Killing of Hindus in Bangladesh The UK Shadow Foreign Secretary, Rt Hon Priti Patel MP, has written to the U.K. Foreign Secretary raising alarm over the killing of at least six Hindus in Bangladesh within 18 days, calling the violence “unacceptable.” Patel requested details on the UK government’s actions over the past year, including monitoring and diplomatic engagement to protect Hindu communities. She also asked about recent contacts with Bangladeshi authorities, efforts to safeguard minorities, and the use of the UK’s diplomatic influence to bring stability in the region. Highlighting the interests of the UK diaspora with family in Bangladesh, Patel inquired whether the government will make a statement to the House of Commons regarding steps taken to address the surge in attacks on Hindu communities. The move follows prior parliamentary discussions, including an Urgent Question in December 2024, and emphasizes continued concern over religious minority protection in Bangladesh. #Bangladesh #ReligiousFreedom #HumanRights”

Christians in Borno State Warned Not to Be Fooled by Governor Zulum’s Rhetoric on Religious Tolerance An opinion piece by Ishaya Malgwi warns Christians in Borno State against being swayed by Governor Babagana Umara Zulum’s public gestures promoting religious tolerance. Despite claims of harmony, Christians continue to face systemic marginalization under Zulum’s administration, including denial of Christian Religious Knowledge in schools, political exclusion, neglect of displaced persons, and restrictions on NGO aid in Christian communities. The article stresses that symbolic acts like sponsoring pilgrimages or visiting Christian refugees cannot substitute for meaningful policy changes. Advocates call for equal access to education, fair resettlement of displaced Christians, political representation, prompt payment of pensions, and unhindered humanitarian assistance. #BornoState #ChristianRights #ReligiousTolerance #GovernorZulum #NigeriaPolitics #HumanRights #ReligiousFreedom #IDPs #SocialJustice #NigeriaNews

US Lawmaker Praises Release Of Nigerian Christian Farmer Sunday Jackson After Over 10 Years On Death Row Following Adamawa Governor’s Pardon A United States lawmaker, Rep. Riley M. Moore, has hailed the release of Sunday Jackson, a Nigerian Christian farmer who spent more than a decade on death row after killing an attacker in what supporters describe as self-defence. Jackson was freed after Adamawa State Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri granted him a pardon, ending a case that attracted sustained pressure from U.S. lawmakers and religious freedom advocates. Moore described the pardon as a major step forward for religious freedom and improving U.S.–Nigeria relations, while urging Nigerian authorities to ensure Jackson’s safety.
