<p>The UK Government is committed to defending freedom of religion or belief (FoRB)
for all and promoting respect between different religious and non-religious communities.
We do not judge there to be an infringement on the ability for Christians to live
and practice in The Gambia at this time. In 2023, the British High Commission in Banjul
supported a project funded by the Church of England which promoted religious tolerance
by strengthening the linkages between the Gambian Parliamentary Caucus on Freedom
of Religion or Belief and key civic organisations including the Christian community.</p><p>More
broadly, the UK remains deeply concerned about the severity and scale of violations
and abuses of FoRB in many parts of the world. Where FoRB is under attack, other human
rights are often threatened too. The UK continues to recognise the issue of persecution
of Christians globally on account of their faith, alongside recognising the persecution
of other groups.</p>
