#RedWednesday, an initiative spearheaded by the advocacy charity ‘Aid to the Church in Need’, is highlighting a lack of religious freedom in countries around the world. The Houses of Parliament, the Liberal Jewish Synagogue in St John's Wood, the Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Stevenage, and Bolton Town Hall, are among dozens of buildings including churches, synagogues and mosques across the UK who lit up their buildings red on Wednesday to mark a show of solidarity with anyone persecuted for their faith. Lord Alton of Liverpool said, ‘In this month of remembrance we are right to stand in solidarity with those who suffer. Our Houses of Parliament represent the struggle for liberty and freedom. In bathing them in red we commemorate those who enjoy none of those privileges and it is an earnest of our determination that they should.’
