Northern Ireland Pastor Convicted for Reading John 3:16 Near Hospital in Abortion Buffer Zone
A 78-year-old retired pastor, Clive Johnston, was convicted of breaching a 100-meter safe access zone outside Causeway Hospital in Coleraine by preaching a sermon, and fined £450. Supporters say the ruling threatens religious liberty and free speech amid abortion buffer zones, while Johnston vows to appeal as international observers voice concerns about censorship in the UK.
