🚨BREAKING: The European Commission has announced that it will WITHDRAW a proposal to criminalise “hate speech” under EU law.
The initiative would have placed “hate speech” and “hate crimes” in the same category as human trafficking, terrorism, drug trafficking and organised crime.
The proposal required unanimous consent, but several member states BLOCKED the initiative in the Council due to free speech concerns.
This is a major victory for freedom of expression. But the battle is not over yet 👇

🚨 Forbidden Colours, whose "Hate Review" amounts to an over 450-page smear campaign against those it disagrees with, has received funding from EU institutions and the King Baudouin Foundation.
Last week, we sent a letter to @FRB_KBS, asking them to publicly distance themselves from the report's biased, dubious findings.
This was their response ⬇️

Eleven million abortions. Six decades. Countless stories of grief and loss that deserve to be heard.
Since Britain's Abortion Act received Royal Assent 59 years ago, the number of abortions has surpassed eleven million. Women who grieve are still denied a voice.
@daisymaeinglese on the trauma behind the numbers, and why we can't restore a culture of life while refusing to acknowledge those who mourn:

🚨Should teachers be FIRED for honestly answering a student's question?
That's what happened to Anita Meston, a Christian teacher who said she was pro-life when asked by a student.

Absolutely! The fact that I've been persued for four years over this should be concerning to people no matter what their views are on abortion or Christianity.
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce faces criminal charges for standing silently on a street, saying nothing and obstructing no one. Whatever your views on abortion, CJ Strachan argues that criminalising silent prayer is not who we are. dailysceptic.org/2026/10/11/…

Assisted suicide and euthanasia are especially dangerous for vulnerable people — including those who are elderly, disabled, or in cognitive decline.
Every human life, regardless of age or medical condition, should be protected.

This @DailyMail post has 9.5 million views. @Kelsisheren originally broke this story on her @Substack. Canadian media ignores the countless MAID cases that are likely criminal violations and we depend on international and independent media to expose our reality to ourselves.

To understand why the assisted suicide bill failed, start with this exchange between Danny Kruger and Kim Leadbeater.
Again and again opponents pointed out the disturbing consequences of the bill, and supporters just tried to avoid talking about them:

Soo excited for my fourth March for Life this Saturday, 5 September in London

The pattern is clear: over time, where euthanasia or assisted suicide are legalised, the number of people choosing it increases, and legislation becomes increasingly permissive.

‼️ An important step forward for protecting women's sport.
Following our warning, 2 UK sports groups are changing their policies to now be based on biological sex rather than self-identified gender.
This change will prevent biological males from competing in female categories.

What if you were banned from entering a country because you believed in the Bible?
That is what is happening to Päivi Räsänen.
Earlier this year, she was criminally convicted of "hate speech" for a church booklet she wrote in 2004, peacefully expressing her Christian views.
Now, that unjust conviction is preventing her from entering the UK:

URGENT: Finnish politician Päivi Räsänen has been blocked from entering the UK to speak about free speech at an event this week in Northern Ireland, following her criminal “hate speech” conviction in Finland, for peacefully expressing her Christian views in a decades-old church booklet.
Now, Räsänen and ADF are calling on Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to make a last-minute intervention, to allow Räsänen to enter the UK and speak at the event in person on Friday.
It is outrageous that a democratically elected politician in an allied European country has been blocked from entering the UK, for expressing her Christian beliefs.
There is still time for this egregious state censorship to be reversed.

Official statement by @beirasplace on @AmnestyUK's recent climbdown.
"Beira’s Place acknowledges the apology published by Amnesty International together with the undertaking to commission an independent external review into how two reports containing such false and harmful allegations could be published and promoted in its name.
The permanent removal of both reports is a tacit acceptance that they contained allegations which were false and defamatory of a large number of organisations which it classed as ‘gender critical'. While the apology is welcomed it does not rectify the reputational damage caused to Beira’s Place. In particular the apology fails to recognise that those most severely impacted are the staff who work day in day out to support survivors of sexual violence and the many women who need and use the service.
Although the apology extends to those groups classed as 'gender critical' it is noteworthy that many other organisations were wrongly defamed by Amnesty in both reports forsimply upholding the protected belief that sex is real, immutable and important in many areas of life. Those organisations also deserve a written apology."

Such a well-deserved honor. @KelseyZorzi is an effective and fearless advocate for those around the world suffering persecution for their faith.
We are blessed to have her leading our global religious freedom team at @ADFIntl, and I’m proud to see her work being acknowledged more widely. Well done, Kelsey!
Deeply honored to receive an IRF Secretariat Award last night. This recognition belongs to the extraordinary international religious freedom community I am privileged to work alongside every day.
We are united by a shared conviction that every person has the right to choose, change, and practice their faith without fear, and by a shared hope that progress is possible: that laws can change, policies can be implemented, and prisoners can be freed.
We have witnessed remarkable victories, but the work ahead remains immense. Real progress happens when governments, parliamentarians, lawyers, religious leaders, researchers, advocates, and survivors come together with a common purpose to defend the rights of those around the world who are denied this most fundamental freedom.
Grateful to be part of this global effort and committed to the work ahead.

Our client has spent 6+ years in a Nigerian prison for song lyrics. Now authorities have delayed his hearing again.
Nigeria is one of just 7 nations on earth that still has the death penalty for “blasphemy.”
Free Yahaya. End blasphemy laws. Protect religious freedom in Nigeria.
🚨 BREAKING: Justice delayed AGAIN in Nigeria.
Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, a young Sufi musician, has spent 6+ years in prison facing a potential death penalty for writing "blasphemous" song lyrics.
After years of waiting for justice, the Supreme Court of Nigeria has now indefinitely delayed a hearing for his case.
This is an egregious violation of Yahaya's freedom of religion and expression.
No one should face prison or a death penalty for peacefully expressing their beliefs.
It is time for Nigeria to release Yahaya.

I’ve spent the last few days with ppl from around the world who care about freedom. Many are worried about the 🇬🇧. As if on cue, and to mark the dying days of Starmer’s premiership, the govt has decided what the country needs is a “conversion therapy bill”. 🧵

I want those who champion men in women’s sport to explain why they’re happy to put girls at risk like this.
This is a sexual assault—unknowingly captured by a mom filming her daughter’s wrestling match.
Kallie didn’t know her opponent was male. But she knew something was very wrong.
Today @ADFLegal helped Kallie sue the WA officials who placed gender ideology above her safety. 🧵⬇️
