A Christian doctor cancelled for his beliefs.

Dr Jereth Kok never harmed a patient. But the Australian state of Victoria’s “ministry of truth” just ended his career — all because he dared to post his Christian and conservative views regarding gender ideology and mental health online.

www.forum18.orgRUSSIA: Old Catholic priest fined for anti-war sermonsFr Aleksandr Khmelyov, an Old Catholic priest, left Russia on 11 July after Telegram channels thought to be linked to state security services claimed investigators were preparing further administrative and criminal cases against him possibly for "creation of an extremist community" or "LGBT propaganda". Earlier that day, a St Petersburg court fined him for "discrediting" the Russian Armed Forces in a February 2022 sermon. A spokesperson for the St Petersburg court system ignored Forum 18's questions about why Fr Aleksandr's actions were considered "discreditation" of the Armed Forces.

This obviously is mostly to protect christians. We don't recruit, evangelize, proselytize, or attempt to convert.

Trump Administration Issues Guidance on Religious Freedom at Work

"The guidance protects employees and supervisors seeking to recruit fellow federal workers to their religion. The Clinton White House issued similar guidelines in 1997, though with more caveats."

"You won’t want to miss the July/August combined issue of AU’s Church & State magazine!

From AU: Christian Nationalists are laser-focused on our public schools – and they’re not being subtle about it. In courtrooms, statehouses, and classrooms across the country, religious extremists are working to transform public schools from places of learning into platforms for religious coercion. And they’re using the legal system to impose their beliefs on students and families.

Your gift today helps AU continue this important work: protecting students’ rights, ensuring laws uphold our constitutional values, and building a future where all children can learn freely and without religious pressure.

Thank you for all that you do.

Jewish tradition teaches us that every person deserves to live with dignity, compassion, and agency. That means trusting people to make their own reproductive health care decisions, guided by their values — not imposing one narrow Christian interpretation of religion on an entire nation. Our religious freedom and reproductive freedom are inseparable.

NCJW is thrilled to announce the launch of Faithful Majority for Reproductive Freedom! NCJW is proud to co-lead this new coalition alongside Catholics for Choice and SACReD to reclaim the moral narrative: people of faith support legal abortion.

Sign the Pledge: ncjw.org/act/action/pledge-fai

I affirm that each of us should be free to make personal decisions about our reproductive health guided by our own faith, values, and well-being — not by a politician's personal religious beliefs...

"The trick that Marx is teaching us here is how to combine a commitment to the religious freedom of Jews, Muslims, Christians etc with the wholesale rejection of the presumption that, in a class society, the state can represent the general interest. Yes, Jews, Muslims, people of faiths that we may not share – or even much like – must be emancipated immediately. Yes, women, black people and LGBTQ+ people must be granted equal rights well before any socialist revolution appears on the horizon. But freedom will take a lot more than that.

Shifting to the topic of immigrant workers suppressing the wages of local workers, another minefield for today’s younger people, a letter Marx sent in 1870 to two associates in New York City offers brilliant clues on how to deal not only with the Nigel Farages of the world but also with some leftists who have bitten the anti-immigration bait.

In his letter, Marx fully acknowledges that American and English employers were purposely exploiting cheap Irish immigrant labour, pitting them against native-born workers and weakening labour solidarity. But for Marx it was self-defeating for trade unions to turn against the Irish immigrants and espouse anti-immigration narratives. No, the solution was never to banish immigrant workers but to organise them. And if the problem is the weakness of the unions, or fiscal austerity, then the solution can never be to scapegoat immigrant workers.

Speaking of trade unions, Marx also has some splendid advice for them. Yes, it is crucial to boost wages to reduce worker exploitation. But let us not fall for the fantasy of fair wages. The only way to render the workplace fair is to do away with an irrational system based on the strict separation of those who work but do not own and the tiny minority who own but do not work."

www.forum18.orgRUSSIA: Buddhist leader given longest known anti-war jail termA Moscow court jailed Buddhist leader Ilya Vasilyev on 25 June for eight years for allegedly disseminating "knowingly false information" about Russia's Armed Forces, the longest known prison term for opposing Russia's war against Ukraine on religious grounds. "We called for the voice of reason, but it seems the judge heard only the voice of the prosecutor's office," his lawyer Gevorg Aleksanyan said. A court spokesperson refused comment on the verdict or why the Judge refuses a prison visit from a Buddhist priest. Protestant pastor Nikolay Romanyuk's criminal trial may begin in mid-July.

Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission launches with Christian nationalist overtones, drawing criticism for lacking diversity and threatening church–state separation. Critics warn it weaponizes religious freedom to serve a narrow ideological agenda.

Prison authorities repeatedly denied this, even when his health deteriorated from May. Officials promised Davlatmirov only to "sort things out later". The 61-year-old died in the labour camp at Yavan in Khatlon Region on 26 June. Officials at the Prisons Department of the Justice Ministry's Department for the Execution of Criminal Punishments did not answer the phone.

www.forum18.orgUZBEKISTAN: Judge refuses to explain rejecting 8 Muslims' appealsJudge Khamid Bobokulov of Kashkadarya Regional Court refused to explain why on 30 April he rejected the appeal by eight Muslim prisoners of conscience from Karshi against their lengthy prison sentences. The men were jailed after discussing their faith at a meal hosted by a provocateur. On 22 May, an apparently secret police-produced video on television claimed it "exposed a Jihadist religious extremist movement". Prison officials mocked Khasan Abdirakhimov for his faith, saying he could only perform namaz sitting down. The duty officer at Zarafshon Prison refused to respond.
