<p>The UK is appalled by the reported attack on the school in Kamuthe, Kenya and the
killings of three Christian teachers. The UK is firmly committed to promoting and
protecting the right to freedom of religion or belief around the world. We are a strong
voice internationally in defence of this fundamental right. Our High Commission in
Nairobi regularly engages with the Kenyan authorities on the importance of protecting
civilians, including all ethnic and religious communities, and human rights for all
Kenyans.</p><p>While we have not made representations to the Government of Kenya about
this specific incident, the UK and Kenya are close partners in the fight against terrorism
and recognise Kenya's sacrifices leading efforts to defeat Al Shabaab. Further strengthening
our counterterrorism cooperation is a priority under the UK-Kenya Strategic Partnership
agreed on by the Prime Minister and President Kenyatta in their meeting on 21 January.</p>
