LEICESTER, United Kingdom - The British government is being called on to assist religious minorities around the world who are facing further hardship due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
“COVID-19 is adding to the pressures already felt by religious minorities, is making them more vulnerable, and their situation even more challenging,” said a letter sent to Lord Tariq Ahmad, who head the Commonwealth and United Nations section of the UK’s Foreign Office.
