CSW
As Christians, we stand with everyone facing injustice because of their religion or belief.
In parts of Mexico, freedom of religion or belief violations can be severe. Yet many people are unaware there is an issue.
Our latest research shows that religious minorities are facing a pattern of violations from bans on worship and public expression, to the denial of work, basic services and even burial rights.
We have documented over 130 serious violations in recent years and more than three million people from religious minorities in Mexico experience discrimination.
In some cases, people are threatened, attacked or forced to flee their homes.
These abuses often take place in Indigenous communities or in areas affected by organised criminal violence, where authorities have failed to protect fundamental human rights or ensure access to justice.
Behind every statistic is an individual, a family and a community whose rights are being eroded.
Pray for those facing injustice in Mexico today!

What do the Premier League and the Eritrean Embassy have in common? Neither of them would open their doors to us. One is not a surprise. Nobody expects the Eritrean Embassy to open their door or engage in dialogue, but we are surprised at the Premier League once again refusing to accept a petition.
It is disappointing for us, but devastating for those who have experienced the horrors of war, severe human rights violations, and the death of family members and friends. But we don’t give up. And we know you won’t either.
Just because the Eritrean Embassy hasn’t opened its doors for the last 20 years doesn’t mean we’re not coming back next year, and just because the Premier League haven’t opened their doors the last two times we’ve been there doesn’t mean we won’t be coming back.
We’ll be back again when the next season starts. We’ll have more names on the petition; we’ll have more people outside, we’ll chant even louder, and we’ll keep doing it until the doors are opened.
The Premier League could make a difference in the war in Sudan.
In March 2023 they approved rules that should bar individuals involved in human rights abuses from owning football clubs.
Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour is a powerful figure in the United Arab Emirates— who are providing financial and military support to the Rapid Support Forces and fuelling this conflict. If they held Mansour to account, it would apply real pressure on the UAE.
When we tried to hand in the petition that over 2500 of you signed, they refused to take it. So, we’re going back again.
The Premier League may not want to acknowledge that they can impact what is happening in Sudan, but we know you do.
By signing our petition and speaking out with the people of Sudan, you are applying pressure to the institutions and individuals who can make a difference. By making noise where we are, we can have an impact on what is happening in the country.

Yesterday, CSW staff and supporters delivered a petition signed by over 1,000 people to Nicaraguan embassies and consulates worldwide, calling for the release of Protestant pastor EfrĂ©n VĂlchez LĂłpez.
Pastor Efrén has been unjustly detained for four years on false charges. His faith and his criticism of the government made him a target.
We want to make it clear that Pastor Efrén has not been forgotten, so we will keep speaking out for him, and for all those in Nicaragua who are punished for their religion or beliefs.
Thank you to everyone who signed, shared, and stood with us.
This pressure matters. And we are not done yet.

Today we mark Leah Sharibu’s birthday. She's been held captive by Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) for 8 years now.
Many will know that Leah was the sole Christian in a group of 110 girls abducted from their school in February 2018. She was denied her freedom because she refused to renounce her faith, and is one of hundreds currently held in terrorist captivity in Nigeria.
Please continue to pray for Leah’s release. Ask God to comfort her mother Rebecca, her father Nathan and her brother Donald, and that next year they would celebrate Leah’s birthday together in the light of his peace and protection.
Seven religious leaders in Eritrea continue to be imprisoned incommunicado, without charge or trial, for over twenty years. Their families wait with little information, and international attention is limited.
But we remember them. We’ve been speaking out for them for 23 years, and we won’t stop now.
We will be gathering again outside the Eritrean Embassy in London to pray and protest alongside Church in Chains (Ireland), the Eritrean Orthodox Church in the UK, Human Rights Concern–Eritrea and Release Eritrea.
Will you join us on Thursday 21 May?
Where: Outside the Embassy of Eritrea.
96 White Lion Street,
London
N1 9PF
Time: 3.30pm
Raise your voice for the people of Eritrea!

CSW is calling on the Mexican authorities to conduct an urgent investigation into the case of a Protestant Christian missionary who disappeared in Guerrero State six weeks ago.
Benito Guevara Arcos, 79, was last seen on 31 March in the town of San Vicente, Chilpancingo de los Bravos Municipality, where he had travelled from the town of Ocotito to preach and give out Bibles.
He was staying with a Protestant Christian friend, who went to look for him when he did not return at nightfall. Neighbours told the friend that armed men had forced Mr Guevara Arcos into a car after taking exception to his preaching and taken him away.
You can read more details of the case in our press release below.
Please remember Mr Guevera Arcos and his family in your prayers today.
mexico: CSW calls for investigation in case of disappeared Christian missionary CSW is a human rights organisation specialising in freedom of religion or belief, and as Christians we stand with all those facing injustice because of their religion or belief.
Thousands of attacks have been recorded against religious leaders throughout Colombia’s decades-long internal conflict.
Since December 2024 at least 11 religious leaders have been kidnapped or assassinated.
We want to gather 4,000 signatures by the inauguration of the new Colombian government in August 2026 and demand that the ability of religious leaders to access security protections be restored.

In March 2023, the Premier League approved rules that should bar individuals involved in human rights abuses from owning football clubs.
Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour is a senior figure in the United Arab Emirates who are fuelling the war in Sudan through military and financial support to the Rapid Support Forces.
The war has plunged Sudan into one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
➡️ Over 30 million people, including nearly 15 million children, need urgent aid.
➡️ At least 150,000 people have been killed.
➡️ More than 13 million have been displaced.
Despite the Premier League’s own rules, Mansour has not been held accountable.
Tomorrow, we’re handing in our petition to the Premier League. Signing it is a way to take action, demanding accountability and calling for an end to the war.
