Written Answers
Russia: Religious Freedom Asked by: Desmond Swayne (Conservative - New Forest West) Thursday 22nd October 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of reports that Russia is restricting the peaceful religious activities of Jehovah’s Witnesses and Protestant Christian organisations. Answered by Uma Kumaran - Assistant Whip The UK remains committed to championing freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) for all. No one should live in fear because of what they do or do not believe in. The UK Special Envoy for FoRB, David Smith MP, plays a critical role in this. Reports of restrictions on peaceful religious activity reinforce the importance of this commitment. The Government regularly condemns the Kremlin's dire domestic human rights record in international fora. The UK will continue to call on the Russian Government to uphold its international commitments on FoRB, and to end its persecution of religious minorities, including Jehovah's Witnesses and protestant communities.
Nigeria: Fulani Asked by: Desmond Swayne (Conservative - New Forest West) Thursday 15th October 2026 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has made representations to the Government of Nigeria regarding recent reports of attacks by armed Fulani militants on Christian communities; and what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of measures to protect communities at risk of religiously motivated violence. Answered by Kirsty McNeill - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The UK condemns violence against civilians of all religions in Nigeria and regularly raises issues linked to Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) with the Government of Nigeria. Nigeria remains a focus country under the UK's FoRB strategy. Through the UK-Nigeria Security and Defence Partnership (SDP), we are supporting Nigeria to tackle insecurity and protect civilians. Additionally, the UK's Strengthening Peace and Resilience in Nigeria (SPRiNG) programme is helping to address the root causes of violence, strengthen local institutions and support peaceful coexistence. In May, the UK's Special Envoy for FoRB, David Smith visited Nigeria. During this trip he engaged with senior government representatives, religious leaders and civil society to support a more nuanced, locally grounded approach to addressing violence affecting communities of all faiths. The UK will continue this engagement to promote FoRB and protect the rights of all communities.
