The desecration of this Hindu house of worship is vile. Hate has no place on Long Island or anywhere else in New York or across America.

Rejoicing to see the release of 135 religious prisoners in #Nicaragua , including Mountain Gateway Ministry staff and Catholic laypeople. We will continue to fight for the freedom of those still persecuted and wrongly imprisoned by the Ortega regime.

Two years ago, Abdulbaqi Saeed Abdo was arbitrarily detained in Egypt for converting to Christianity. His immediate release should be an international plea. #ExpressionNotOppression

Had a powerful conversation with Pastor Gábor Iványi, whose Hungarian Evangelical Fellowship @Oltalom has been the target of harassment for its criticism of the Orbán government.  We stand in solidarity with Pastor Iványi & object to the persecution of religious organizations.

Hoy, los Ortega Murillo cancelaron la Iglesia Morava, mayoritaria en la Costa Caribe que se estableció en Nicaragua hace 177 años. La confiscan y le cierran sus cuentas. Afectarán templos y escuelas. La libertad de credo siendo completamente liquidada por la dictadura.
