SUPPRESSION OF CHRISTIANITY

Early day motion 435, tabled 10 December 2009 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 42 members.

That this House notes with concern the large number of Christians who are suppressed from practising their beliefs in countries such as China and India; recognises that as Christmas approaches, Christians around the world wish to celebrate the birth of Christ and promote the virtues of peace and love; expresses grave concern that basic human rights are suppressed; and calls on the Government to promote the virtues of religious tolerance so that Christians can not only celebrate Christmas but also practise their faith all year round.
