Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Fiona Bruce (Conservative). It was answered by Andrew Selous (Conservative) on Thursday, 11 January 2024 on behalf of the Church Commissioners.
Cuba: Support for Christians
- Question
-
To ask the hon. Member for South West Bedfordshire, representing the Church Commissioners, what steps the Church is taking to support Christians in Cuba.
- Answer
-
I commend the Prime Minister’s special envoy for freedom of religion or belief for yet again bringing this issue before the House. It is extremely concerning that the Cuban Government continue to control religious activity so tightly by using surveillance, harassment, forced exile, fines and ill-treatment of prisoners. The Church of England works multilaterally through the United Nations, the World Council of Churches and other bodies to advocate vigorously for freedom of religion or belief for everyone in Cuba.
