Blogger Comment: This is part of the Globalist’s constant attack on Christian religion and beliefs, as the Globalists are pitting Christianity against Islam to create the great division and devide against each other, as the Globalists know that Christainity is their greatest religious threat and basically have to destroy it, for it is the religion of conscience for the love of humamity…and what is therefore happening is a Globalist construct for their longterm aim and strategy to create a One World Gobvernment (OWG for their Agenda 2030 and the only reason)…and therefore considering the OWG Globalist Agenda we should all be worried, as if Christianity fails, the world falls into a totalitarian controlled world by the few and the rest of us after they have undertaken the depopulation of humamty to around a mere 400 million who would live a life of surfdom (slaves for the elites)…don’t think this will never happen, think again as the WEF has said so many times in Davos and also ever since, their founding in 1971, as a vailed expression of their total intended and overidding Global supremacy purpose…

The United Kingdom has blocked Finnish parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen from entering the country after she was convicted of “hate speech” for defending the Bible’s teaching on marriage over 20 years ago, according to Alliance Defending Freedom CEO Kristen Waggoner.
Räsänen, a longtime member of Finland’s Parliament and part of its “Friends of the United Kingdom” group, had been invited to speak at a religious liberty conference in Northern Ireland.
Instead, British authorities barred her from entering the country.
“My friend Päivi Räsänen — a doctor, grandmother, member of Finnish parliament, and devout Christian — was invited to speak at a religious liberty conference this week in Northern Ireland,” Waggoner wrote.
“The UK will not let her enter the country.
“This is due to her recent ‘hate speech’ conviction for writing a church pamphlet, in 2004, on Biblical marriage.”
UK Cancels Travel Authorization
According to ADF, Räsänen’s Electronic Travel Authorization was approved in June before being abruptly canceled last month.
She then applied for a full visa and personally wrote to Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood asking for permission to attend the conference.
She has not received a response.
Waggoner condemned the decision and urged Mahmood to intervene.
“Freedom-loving nations should welcome voices like hers — not uphold the heavy-handed censorship of other nations,” Waggoner said.
“Free speech is not a crime.”
This is the second time in two months that Räsänen has been blocked from traveling through the United Kingdom.
In July, she was reportedly told she could not travel through London Heathrow after attending an ADF conference.
Convicted for Defending Biblical Marriage
Räsänen’s legal battle in Finland lasted seven years.
In March, Finland’s Supreme Court unanimously acquitted her over a 2019 social media post quoting Scripture.
But the court convicted her under the “war crimes and crimes against humanity” section of Finland’s criminal code over a church booklet she co-authored in 2004 with Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola.
The booklet defended the biblical definition of marriage more than a decade before Finland legalized same-sex marriage.
Räsänen was fined €1,800, while the foundation that published the booklet was fined €5,000.
Two lower courts had previously acquitted her unanimously on all charges.
Pohjola was also found guilty and has likewise been denied entry to the United Kingdom.
Lawyer Warns of ‘Escalating Censorship Crisis’
Lorcán Price, Räsänen’s attorney before the European Court of Human Rights, said the British decision is part of a broader pattern.
“This is not an isolated incident,” Price said.
“The UK has in the last year blocked a number of mainstream conservative individuals, politicians, and now even a member of the Finnish Parliament and a Lutheran bishop, from entering the country.
“This trend is yet another example of the severe and escalating censorship crisis in Great Britain.”
Price also pointed to recent cases involving Christians punished for silent prayer, public preaching, and offering to speak with people.
Räsänen Calls Decision ‘Shocking’
Räsänen said Britain is punishing her for exercising basic freedoms of religion and speech.
“It is shocking that the UK has blocked me, a democratically elected politician in an allied European state, from entering the country,” she said.
“I was convicted of ‘hate speech’ in Finland for peacefully expressing my Christian views.
“In doing so, the UK is punishing me for exercising my fundamental human rights.”
Räsänen called on Mahmood to reverse the decision before the conference.
“There is still time for this censorship to be reversed,” she said.
The case now adds Britain to the growing list of Western governments accused of using “hate speech” laws and immigration powers to punish Christians for expressing traditional beliefs on marriage and sexuality.
