Christianity is at risk of disappearing in the Middle East, representing a massive setback for plurality, the report says.

The British government should consider sanctions on countries where Christians are persecuted, according an independent review for the Foreign Secretary.

The report, by the Church of England Bishop of Truro Philip Mounstephen, recommends the UK “be prepared to impose sanctions against perpetrators of Freedom of Religious Belief (FoRB) abuses.”

It also recommends the government explore how social media strategies can promote religious freedom and counter religious hate, and that a standard definition of FoRB be established.
