Nigeria’s Christians are being massacred, yet the Church still sings and rebuilds. My new piece urges us to pray, advocate, and stand with them. Thank you @RepMarkWalker and @SamuelBrownback for their leadership. christianpost.com/voices/des… #Nigeria #ReligiousFreedom #GPF

At least 19 Armenians remain imprisoned in Azerbaijan. Years after the fall of Artsakh, civilians, soldiers, and former leaders are still being held. Their families continue to wait while international attention fades. Don't let them be forgotten. Share. Repost. Speak out. #FreeArmenianHostages #HumanRights #Artsakh #Armenia

Save Armenia CEO Dr Paul Murray (@pmtwin) just published a new piece in First Things on the destruction of the Holy Mother of God Cathedral in Stepanakert and the systematic erasure of Armenian Christian heritage in Artsakh. "When such a church is removed after its congregation has been displaced, something more than architecture disappears. A witness disappears." This is a loss for the entire Christian world.

VP Vance's trip to Armenia & Azerbaijan is the right moment to demand what matters most: the immediate release of Armenian Christian prisoners still held in Baku. Peace requires more than signatures. It requires action. Our full statement: savearmenia.us/peace-for-arm…

The moral character of our nation, particularly our elites, must rise to this global time of challenge for Western Democracy. wsj.com/us-news/jeffrey-epst…

Appreciate that @POTUS has emphasized religious freedom as a central human right again this term. This is an issue where America must lead the fight. If we don't, no one else will. @NTDNews

Thank you Tim and 120 past and present members of Congress for this unprecedented support. We are humbled by the strong statement and grateful so many of my colleagues would stand with us. More importantly, standing with the persecuted people of faith throughout the world.

.@POTUS and @USTreasury have sanctioned Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes under the Global Magnitsky sanctions program for serious human rights abuses. Let this be a warning to those who would trample on the fundamental rights of their countrymen—judicial robes cannot protect you.

As we worship tomorrow in beautiful facilities with no fear of persecution, remember those being harassed, targeted, persecuted and even slaughtered for their faith. Peace to the Mazhar family.

Grateful for the many leaders of Ghana representing, religious, academic, corporate, and civil society who have convened over the past several days to engage as builders of transformation through the launching of the Ghana Regional IRF Secretariat. #ReligiousFreedom #gpf

It's wonderful being back in NE Syria! So glad to join the Yazidi Community for Red Wednesday. Happy New Year to my Yazidi Friends! As you can see, the people of NE Syria built this government that over-represents religious minorities. It's multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and the Yazidi community plays a big role as government officials and as leaders of civil society. The Muslim Community and Christian community are here – an Imam even spoke - and they're all coming together and celebrating. As negotiations to integrate NE Syria into the Syrian government continue, it's important that the civil institutions and the government they've set up here in NE Syria are included and protected. As you look around, you can see this is what all of Syria wants - equal citizenship for everybody - regardless of ethnicity, religion, or gender. I originally was planning to go to Raqqa today to meet with the co-chairs of the Democratic Autonomous Administration in North and East Syria, but I found out they were going to be here in the Jazira Canton instead, celebrating with the Yazidi community. This is what makes NE Syria different!

Congratulations to @RepMarkWalker on his appointment as Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom at @StateDept. His unwavering commitment to faith, longstanding advocacy for persecuted communities, and leadership in championing religious liberty in Congress make him exceptionally suited for this vital role. We look forward to working with you to protect and promote religious liberty for all. #ReligiousFreedom | #GPF | #FaithInAction | #IRF | #GlobalPeace | #IRFSec

Having worked with @BoatPeopleSOS for many years, I can confidently say they are NOT a terrorist group. The fact the Vietnamese government calls them that is very revealing about the government and its insecurities.

Vietnam is prohibiting three individuals from attending @IRFSummit this week. We call on the Vietnamese government to let these citizens attend. These types of actions should cause the US to relist Vietnam as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC) for religious freedoms.

Happy Holidays from the IRF Secretariat Team!✨ As we reflect on this year, we’re grateful for the work we’ve accomplished together and the hope we carry into the next. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful, peaceful, and meaningful holiday season. Here’s to making an impact in the year ahead! #HappyHolidays #SeasonOfHope #IRF
