OHCHR Press Conference
Press Conference Announcement
The Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief will talk about his annual report to the Human Rights Council on preventing violence committed in the name of religion: “It would be wrong to focus on religion in isolation when analysing the problem, it would be equally simplistic to reduce religious motives to mere ‘excuses’ for violent crimes perpetrated in their name.”
The expert will also refer to his reports on his 2014 missions to Kazakhstan and Viet Nam.
Mr. Heiner Bielefeldt, Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief.
