To mark Easter in her annual message, British Prime Minister Theresa May called for the UK to stand up for religious freedom. To practice faith in peace, she conveyed to stand up for the right of everyone to mark Easter in her annual message.
She is facing continual pressure to step down within her Conservative Party amid the Brexit uncertainty and delay. She said she will spend her time on this Easter as every year she does with thanksgiving in the church.
She also mentioned that such simple acts of faith of Christianity may bring huge danger. It is estimated that approximately 245 million Christians are facing persecution worldwide. Churches across the countries are attacked with the aim of killing Christians and forcing them to flee away from their respective homes.
The British government has launched a global review to analyze the situation. May has firmly requested the people to stand for the right of everyone irrespective of their religion. A review committee led by Bishop of Truro is formed to analyze the help rendered by the UK to persecuted Christians.
The royal family also gathered at St. George Chapel in Windsor Castle for annual Easter. They also celebrated the 93rd birthday of Queen. Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Mike Tindall, Princess Royal and Zara.
A joint message was posted by Prince Harry and Meghan to wish the Queen on Instagram.
Mr. Corbyn, the labour leader mentioned that the experiences of Jesus as a refugee are still prevalent today to us. He emphasized that Jesus taught to respect refugees who are forced to flee away from their homes and knows what it is to be rejected, tortured and obstructed.
He also criticized the failure of the government to account the Child refugees. He condemned the government by saying that Britain has a history of safeguarding the refugees in need. However, this government has failed to meet the obligations required by the Dubs Amendment in Europe to rescue Child refugees.
Designed by the former child Refugee Lord Dubs and Labour peer, this scheme was ended in 2017 by the government. It aimed at transferring the unaccompanied migrant children to the UK. Since 2010, over 34,500 children were provided with the protection by the UK under the scheme.
