The pro-life message is being spread internationally through Dr Katme and other SPUC representatives

Dr A. Majid Katme, coordinator of SPUC's Muslim Division, earlier this month visited the ancient nation of Azerbaijan, which sits between eastern Europe and western Asia.

During his visit, he gave five talks and workshop presentations. Whilst in Baku, Azerbaijan's capital, Dr Katme also met with Muslim officials and leaders.

John Smeaton, SPUC's director, commented: "It is exciting to know that, through Dr Katme and other SPUC representatives, the pro-life message is being spread internationally." [John Smeaton, 29 October]
