Special Interest Group Claims Christians Are Being Misled: A Rebuttal

For the last month, a U.K-based body calling itself the European-Sudanese Public Affairs Council has been circulating emails and submitting "news" reports in newspapers such as Addis Tribune, claiming that groups such as The Voice of the Martyrs, Servant's Heart, Freedom Quest International and others are misleading the public with inaccurate reporting on atrocities committed by the Sudanese government over the last several years. It is worth noting that this organisation has been set up to foster economic development in Sudan and to oppose media coverage that could be seen as detrimental to interests in Sudan. As such ESPAC has a record of hostility towards relief and human rights organisations that have criticised Sudan's human rights record. The Voice of the Martyrs will continue to speak out about the appalling human rights abuses in Sudan, and we would advise you to disregard any correspondence you might receive or read from ESPAC as being the kind of misleading propaganda that it claims to oppose.
