The Rev. Francesco Patton, the Jerusalem-based Custos of the Holy Land, says he will open all of the church’s buildings in northern Syria to provide shelter for families who have lost their homes.

Mr Ager-Hanssen told BBC Scotland that it was not his company, Custos Group, that was trading the shares.

Its “constructive” activism, focusing on only a dozen companies at a time, goes back to the founders’ time as chief executive and chief investment officer of Custos, a listed investment firm, in the mid-1990s.

The Very Rev. Pierbattista Pizzaballa, custos of the Holy Land, will speak about “Struggle and Hope in the Holy Land.”

Senior Franciscan official Father Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Custos of the Holy Land, told the AFP news agency that Fr Hanna and the other Christians had been accused of being "collaborators" with the government.
