U.S. commission: Russia among worst violators of religious freedom
The State Department should add Russia to its list of the worst violators of religious freedom, a U.S. commission declared in its annual report.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, founded to advise the federal government, cites the most abusive countries each year, a list consistently longer than the State Department’s.
USCIRF recommended that the United States designate Russia as a “country of particular concern” for wielding an antiextremist law to violate the religious freedom of Muslims and other minorities.
