Torture and Ill Treatment are Tools of Violating Religious Freedom
- Details
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) released the following report on religious freedom and torture:
Religious Freedom and the Prohibition of Torture and Ill Treatment – Governments around the world continue to breach international law by engaging in torture and other cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment (“ill treatment”) of individuals. In promoting international religious freedom, the U.S. government is required to consider the connection between religious freedom violations and torture. Recognizing how torture and ill treatment can be used to violate religious freedom strengthens both the protection of this right and the right to be free from torture by expanding remedies for victims and increasing state accountability for violations. This factsheet provides an overview of U.S. policy related to this nexus, relevant international human rights standards, and contexts where violations occur concurrently. The factsheet includes case studies highlighting this intersection from countries including Afghanistan, China, Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Turkmenistan.

WASHINGTON, and CHICAGO -- Prison Fellowship International (PFI) and Bible League International (BLI) mark their long-standing partnership with a new agreement to distribute 620,000 Bibles over the next five years to prisoners in 20 countries.

“God’s Word has the power to reach prisoners in their darkest moments with the light of Jesus Christ. Through this partnership, prisoners who come to know Jesus through our evidence-based, in-prison programs are equipped to grow in their faith through a Bible that they can understand and that speaks to their circumstances,” said Frank Lofaro, PFI Vice President, Global Impact.
Trump Officials Preach Gospel, Praise God at Charlie Kirk Memorial Service

- By S.A. McCarthy - The Washington Stand
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was honored Sunday in a memorial service attended by President Donald Trump and members of his administration, where Kirk’s Christian faith took center stage. “It’s like an old-time revival, isn’t it?” the president asked, after listening to Charlie’s family, TPUSA colleagues, and friends in the administration preach the gospel for five hours in State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
“Eleven days ago, my friend was martyred for using his voice to engage in peaceful dialogue. Charlie’s assassin thought that he could steal and silence his voice by putting a bullet in his neck,” Kirk’s friend and TPUSA Chief of Staff Mikey McCoy recalled. Quoting philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, he continued, “The tyrant dies and his rule is over; the martyr dies and his rule has just begun. Charlie was not silenced. His movement is only beginning.” McCoy referenced one of Kirk’s frequently-worn t-shirts, featuring the slogan “live free,” and urged the tens of thousands gathered there to do so. “True freedom is not found in doing whatever we want, but pursuing Christ and doing what is right. In Charlie’s words, get married, have more children than you can afford, build a legacy, pass down your values, and pursue the eternal.”

Most Religious States
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the freedom to practice any religion or none at all, and this fundamental right remains a cornerstone of American values. Nationally, more than two-thirds of adults are religiously affiliated. Given its importance, understanding the best places for religious inclusivity can be key to finding your community.
To highlight the states that care the most about religion and the ones where it is less important, SmileHub compared each of the 50 states based on 13 key metrics. The data set ranges from the number of faith & religious support charities per capita to the share of people who pray at least daily to the number of religion-related careers per capita.
Federal Judge Partially Blocks Arkansas Ten Commandments Classroom Display Law
- Details
- By Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Staff
(Worthy News) – A federal district judge has temporarily blocked enforcement of Arkansas’ new law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms, calling it “plainly unconstitutional” and part of a broader effort to inject Christian doctrine into education.
Arkansas Act 573, signed earlier this year by Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, mandates that each “elementary and secondary school library and classroom” prominently display a privately purchased or donated copy of the Ten Commandments. The measure is part of a trend in Republican-led states, including Texas and Louisiana, that have adopted similar requirements.
