Finnish MP Barred from UK Transit After Bible-Based 'Hate Crime' Conviction

Finnish parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen, convicted by Finland's Supreme Court for quoting Scripture on marriage, has been denied transit through London's Heathrow Airport due to her 'hate crime' status — meaning a sitting lawmaker is now effectively blocked from free movement for holding biblical beliefs. This marks a significant escalation in the institutional persecution of Christians across the Western world, where the authority of Scripture is increasingly treated as criminal by the state. Jesus warned His followers that they would be hated by all nations for His name's sake, and that in the last days lawlessness would increase — what is unfolding across Europe reflects precisely this trajectory.
