EU considers protecting rights of persecuted Christians

1 Mar 2010

The European Union has reportedly formed an association to protect the rights of Christians in countries where they face persecution.

"We've set up a working group and are defining what bilateral action can be taken between Europe and the individual countries where Christians' rights are in danger," said Italy's Foreign Minister Franco Frattini.

"We're studying which international initiatives the EU can adopt to bring this problem more clearly into focus."
