Earlier in 2017, Whitehall officials attempted to block access to statistics which revealed how Christian victims of genocide are neglected by the UK and UN.
A Freedom of Information request was submitted to the UK Home Office in February. No reply was forthcoming. After a complaint was lodged with the Information Commission’s office, the Home Office was told to release the information or face contempt of court proceedings.
When the information was issued, it showed that the UN only recommended token numbers of Syrian Christians, Yazidis and other minorities for resettlement in the UK. The overwhelming majority were Sunni Muslims who form the majority in Syria, despite the fact that Christians, and other minorities have been repeatedly targeted for attack by Islamist groups such as IS.
