Sri Lanka to Vote on Anti-Conversion Bill

The Sri Lankan government will cast a deciding vote on anti-conversion legislation in April. This was revealed in a news item by "Christian Today," reports Christian aggression. Org.

The "Act for the Protection of Religious Freedom," approved in principle by the Sri Lankan cabinet in June 2004, stipulates that no person should "attempt to convert or aid or abet acts of conversion of a person to a different religion," according to a recent report by Compass Direct. In practical terms, the Act makes conversion from one religion to another illegal under any circumstances.
