We the undersigned, call upon the Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg to accord Nadia Eweida a hearing in the Grand Chamber and to rule in the plainest terms in that chamber that it is unacceptable for Christians in the United Kingdom to be- by reason of the prevailing culture of quote political correctness unquote - consistently discriminated against and victimised by being denied fundamental human rights granted to adherence of other religions - and hence, of course, that Nadia Eweida must have the legal right to wear her Cross visibly in her work place.
Nadia Eweida has exhausted all legal avenues in the United Kingdom (the Employment Tribunal/Employment Appeal Tribunal/High Court of Appeal/ Supreme Court) for securing her legal right to wear her Cross visibly in the work place in circumstances in which adherence of other faiths are permitted to wear visible marks of their respective religions.
Although Nadia Eweida is back at work, wearing her Cross visibly, this is due solely to the public outcry, as well as that of scores of MP’s, religious leaders and massive media support and coverage both national and international, provoked by her employer’s original stance .
Her employer and indeed any company is still legally entitled to prohibit any of its Christian employees from wearing a Cross visibly in the work place.
The importance of this case is highlighted by the astonishing volume and scale of this outcry, which reflects the fundamental importance to the human heart of the right that is here in question.
