Apostasy Law Campaign Extended

The Barnabas Fund petition for the abolition of the Islamic apostasy law is being extended until Easter 2010. This is to allow time for more signatures to be gathered.

The petition calls on national governments to support all efforts by Muslims to have the apostasy law abolished, so that Muslims who choose to leave their faith are no longer liable to the death sentence or any other penalty.

We are pleased to report that at the time of writing 41,173 people have signed the petition. Please do continue to encourage people at your church and other Christian friends to sign it. Also if you have any signed petition sheets that have not yet been sent in to us, could you please forward them to your national Barnabas Fund office (contact address) as soon as possible? Thank you very much.

  • The new president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, has promised to make the protection of repressed Christians in foreign countries one of his foreign policy priorities. During the presidential election he met with a group of church leaders in Moscow on 8 February, who told him that Christians were suffering persecution all over the world, with one Christian dying for his or her faith every five minutes. When they asked him to give attention to this problem, he replied, “This is how it will be, have no doubt.” Give thanks for this undertaking, and pray that the president will honour it.
