Amnesty International UK apologises for branding Christian groups as a ‘growing threat’ and ‘anti-rights’

Amnesty International UK has apologised for publishing a report which described dozens of Christian, pro-life, and gender-critical organisations as part of an ‘anti-rights movement’.

The report, A Growing Threat: The Anti-Rights Movement in the UK, was published on 8 July and identified 117 organisations which it said were working to roll back protections for women and LGBT+ people.

Those named included the Evangelical Alliance, Christian Concern, The Christian Institute, CARE, Premier, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), and the Christian Medical Fellowship.

The report also called for the Charity Commission to review the charitable status of some organisations.
