“Today, Russia ranks among the worst violators of religious freedom and human rights,” Ambassador Callista Gingrich said during a roundtable discussion on Ukraine held at the US embassy in Rome. “There is no sign that its persecution of religious minorities and foreign missionaries is coming to an end.”
“Russia routinely conducts sham trials to persecute Ukrainians,” she explained. “Religious freedom also remains heavily constricted in areas of Ukraine under Russian occupation and control."
The ambassador is married to former House of Representatives Speaker, Newt Gingrich, an adviser and ally of the president, who has repeatedly stressed there is no evidence connecting the Trump campaign to Russia.
In her remarks, Ambassador Gingrich explained the US government issued a religious freedom report in 200 countries which showed that freedom practice one’s faith “is increasingly under threat” and that “persecution, violence, and discrimination are daily realities for millions of believers in nearly every region of the world”.
She said that Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, will convene the first ever ministerial gathering on religious freedom on 25-26 July in Washington D.C. as a way to find concrete ways to prevent persecution.
Among those present at the roundtable discussion was Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, the leader of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

Do they force bakers to make gay wedding cakes?
Russia hides their HIV epidemic and persecution of Christians behind their so-called gay propaganda laws. And in that spirit, they let Islamists rule free and systematically execute suspected gays in Chechnya. A whole convent of nuns and numerous other religious clergy were forced off Crimea if they did not claim allegiance to Moscow’s religous authorities.
Rev. Franklin Graham cancelled a largely anticipated gathering of Christians in Moscow due to its amping of persecution of Evangelical missionaries.
They Kremlin also hides their aggressions abroad, alliances with the likes of Iran and other anti-Israel entitites behind the ‘we save Syrian Christians’ mantle.
So it’s merely an excuse to whine about Russia’s anti-homo law.
Gingrich urges Russia to grant Christians the right to bake homo cakes.
“they let Islamists rule free and systematically execute suspected gays in Chechnya. “

We, actually Obama and the Democrats, did the same regarding the gay nightclub that got shot up by the Islamists in Florida, so I’m not sure why we’re beating up Putin for having the same policy as Obama.
It’s amusing.
John McCain’s butt lickers and Hillary’s homo warriors flaunt their admiration for Franklin Graham.
But they do stand with a Jew, who is call Soros.
George W.Bush teamed up with Bill Clinton, John McCain to critise Russia’s military campaign in Chechnya.
He shut his cake hole after 9/11.
Gleb Yakunin, a critic of the Moscow Patriarchate who was one of those who briefly gained access to the KGB archive documents in the early 1990s, argued that the Moscow Patriarchate was "practically a subsidiary, a sister company of the KGB". Critics charge that the archives showed the extent of active participation of the top ROC hierarchs in the KGB efforts overseas.
