The US has flagged Pakistan, China and 8 others as “countries of particular concern” in its ‘Religious Freedom Designations’. Four countries have been placed on the “special watch list” and a few organisations, including the Taliban, were designated “entity of particular concern”.
The United States came out with its ‘Religious Freedom Designations’ on Wednesday. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced in a statement that ten nations, including Pakistan and China were designated “countries of particular concern”. We support open and just societies, in which all can enjoy freedom of religion or belief. Today’s designations shine a light on governments that violate religious freedom and require urgent attention & action. https://t.co/bwedH6YyEn
