A British millionaire has pledged to personally fund legal representation for Christian street preachers who face police action, saying he is “outraged and shocked” by arrests and warning that Britain has developed a “double standard” against Christians.
Businessman Samuel Leeds has committed to paying for legal representation for Christian street preachers targeted by police, telling Truth Times he is “outraged and shocked” to see Christians arrested for preaching “in a Christian country”.
His pledge comes amid growing public debate over the treatment of Christian street preachers in Britain.
Mr Leeds says he wants Christians facing police action to have access to proper legal representation rather than being “simply silenced”.
Explaining his public commitment, Mr. Leeds said the sight of street preachers being detained had moved him to act.
