A coalition of 11 Christian charities has asked the Charity Commission to reaffirm the right of faith-based organisations to participate in public debate after Amnesty International UK labelled scores of Christian and socially conservative groups “anti-rights”. The controversy began when Amnesty released a report about the supposed “anti-rights movement in the UK” and blacklisted 117 groups, many of them gender critical and Christian. However, the report went beyond criticism of the groups, calling on the Charity Commission to review their charitable status. Now the shoe is somewhat on the other foot, with the CEOs of CARE, Christian Concern, The Christian Institute, the Christian Medical Fellowship and other groups named in the report penning an open letter to the Charity Commission. The letter accuses Amnesty of making “a lazy generalisation” by listing groups together which in many cases have little in common.
