U.K. to Block Aid to Countries Persecuting Gays, Christians

The U.K. will block development aid to countries that persecute Christians, gays and lesbians, Prime Minister David Cameron said.

African leaders at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Perth, Australia, which started Oct. 28, were told in bilateral meetings that U.K. aid will be dependent on them improving human rights and equality, Cameron said in an interview with BBC TV’s Andrew Marr show.
