United Kingdom to Stop Aiding Countries Who Persecute Christians

According to an article on The Christian Post written by Brendan Giusti, the U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron has decided to stop sending financial aid to countries that persecute Christians.

“When the UK is setting aid budgets and is in discussion with other governments, religious freedom – in particular the persecution of Christians – should always be highlighted and discussed,” said Neville Kyrke-Smith, director of Aid to the Church in Need's (ACN) U.K. office.

Cameron said the decision was a move to protect basic human rights worldwide.

"Britain is one of the premier aid givers in the world,” Cameron said to the BBC. “We want to see countries that receive our aid adhering to proper human rights.”

Up to 75 percent of the religious persecution in the world is against Christians, according to a recent report. In addition, more than 40 members of the British Commonwealth have laws banning homosexuality.
