BREAKING: Supreme Court is allowing high-risk abortion drugs to continue flowing into pro-life states while we litigate at the Fifth Circuit. Mail-order abortion harms women like our client, Rosalie Markezich, who was coerced to take abortion drugs, which ended her child's life. Watch her story below.

Maryam’s case highlights a pervasive problem in many parts of the Middle East: the practice of state-assigned religion, in which governments record a citizen’s religion in official databases or on identification documents and make it difficult or impossible to change. 👇 adfinternational.org/news/christian…

🚨An Iraqi court has ruled that a young Christian woman can be recorded as Christian, not Muslim, in the state's official database. She was reassigned to Islam as a child by operation of law when her mother remarried.

These attacks were specifically carried out to destroy the central Christian religious pillars of the Banyamulenge in Uvira. The EACJ filing included affidavits from leaders and members of the Uvira church communities affected. Read more @ADFIntl: adfinternational.org/news/east-afri…

Legal counsel for the communities @InnocentNtezi1: “It is only right that the DRC acts swiftly to prevent further violence, takes responsibility and supports the reconstruction of destroyed churches and religious properties. Banyamulenge communities must be able to rebuild not only their homes, but also the churches and organizations that sustain their spiritual and communal life.”

❗️CASE FILED: In January, DRC forces pushed M23 rebels out of the city of Uvira. But members of these forces and aligned militias then targeted, attacked, and destroyed Christian churches, charities, and homes of the Banyamulenge ethnic group. We @ADFIntl are supporting a case at the East Africa Court of Justice to bring accountability and help these communities worship again.

Chair Hartzler: “Today, Nigerian Christian Leah Sharibu turns 23-years-old after remaining captive by her ISWAP kidnappers since 2018. As a young schoolgirl, Leah's future was wickedly stripped from her because she bravely refused to renounce her faith." uscirf.gov/religious-pris…

The Epicenter of Terrorism is Shifting to Africa. In my latest for @ProvMagazine, I argue that JNIM’s offensive in Mali is not an isolated crisis, but part of broader trend of extremist groups gaining territorial control, targeting Christians and others, and destabilizing entire regions. Areas controlled by non-state actors designated as Entities of Particular Concern are among the worst places in the world for religious persecution. The U.S. already has legal tools available. They must be used before conditions deteriorate further. providencemag.com/2026/05/the-ep…

A monumental day for justice! Thank you @SpeakerJohnson, @RepMoolenaar, @RepTomSuozzi, @RepYoungKim, and Rep. Chris Smith for passing H.Res.1259—and thank you to the 414 members of the House of Representatives for voting unanimously. This resolution demands the release of my sister, Dr. Gulshan Abbas, Jimmy Lai, Pastor Jin, and others wrongfully detained by the CCP. Your stand for humanity means everything to our families and our people. #HumanRights #FreeGulshanAbbas #FreePastorJin #FreeJimmyLai #FreeGaoQuanfu #FreePangYu

A Christian is killed every 2 hours in sub-Saharan Africa. More than 70% of all Christians killed for their faith last year were Nigerian. And yet 94% of Nigerian Catholics still show up to Mass every Sunday. The highest attendance rate on the planet. Read that again.

Time and time again, “buffer zones” have suppressed free speech and silenced peaceful expression. In some cases, these zones have even criminalized individuals for nothing more than a silent thought in their own mind. These aren’t “buffer zones” — they’re censorship zones.

The spectacle of a 78 year-old grandfather being found guilty of preaching the Christian gospel outside a hospital shows it's time to admit the truth, says Ciaran Kelly: Britain is now policing thought crime. dailysceptic.org/2026/05/13/bri…

A pastor in Northern Ireland was convicted and fined after preaching the Gospel near a hospital. This comes shortly after a Finnish MP and bishop were convicted under the "war crimes and crimes against humanity" part of the Finnish code for sharing Christian views on marriage. This is part of what @BishopBarron calls the "soft persecution" in the West at the hands of increasingly aggressive secular cultures. foxnews.com/culture/retire…
