We celebrate the global efforts supporting the right to freedom of religion or belief and redouble our commitment to stand with those persecuted on the basis of any religion or belief.
(3/3) We reiterate our call on the Burma military regime to end its unacceptable brutal campaign of violence, including attacks on members and places of worship of ethnic and religious communities.
(2/3) It is particularly disturbing that these attacks hit buildings where displaced persons were seeking shelter. These latest attacks are part of a long pattern of the military’s destruction of sacred places of worship of all faiths in Burma since the February 2021 coup.
(1/3) Deeply concerned by the Burma military’s pattern of violence in Chin State and across the country. Its airstrikes in Falam township destroyed three houses and the Ramthlo Baptist Church, and soldiers killed three deacons from Mindat Town.
Grateful for @IRF_Ambassador and @StateIRF efforts on the #IRFReport2021. The reports describe the ongoing and escalating rise of antisemitism around the world, and will inform our ongoing efforts to combat this age-old hatred.
3/5: Many regimes egregiously repress religious freedom by tolerating hostility against members of faith groups, employing blasphemy & apostasy laws to target those who dissent from majority religious views, or fanning age-old hatreds such as antisemitism & anti-Muslim sentiment.
.@StateIRF collaborates with a wide range of stakeholders for the #IRFReport2021. Some of them include: ➡️ Foreign governments ➡️ Religious groups ➡️ Nongovernmental organizations ➡️ Journalists ➡️ Academics ➡️ Community leaders state.gov/reports/2021-r…
Religious freedom is a fundamental right. Through the work of governments, civil society organizations, and citizens, progress has been made across the world in places such as the Kingdom of Morocco, Taiwan, Timor-Leste, and Iraq.
Thank you @IRF_Ambassador and @StateIRF for continuing to document Holocaust distortion and denial, property restitution, and other Holocaust issues in the #IRFReport2021. Identifying the challenges that undermine the accurate history of the Holocaust helps us face them head-on.
Unfortunately, this report also shows that we have more work to do. In many parts of the world, governments are failing to respect the human rights of their people. The U.S. will continue to stand up for religious freedom around the world. go.usa.gov/xJDwP
Knowledge empowers change. With the release of #IRFReport2021, civil society leaders – including academics, religious communities, NGOs, & think tanks – can benefit from the broadest analysis available of religious freedom issues. We invite their action.
.@SecBlinken discusses the #IRFReport2021: “This report offers a thorough, fact-based review of the state of religious freedom in nearly 200 countries and territories around the world.” state.gov/reports/2021-r…
One of the hallmarks of Eid-al-Fitr is celebrating together in community, and our gathering today was no exception. Officials from across the Department, the Muslim community, and people of various faiths and beliefs all shared in the joyful celebration.
America is stronger because of our diversity. Sharing the traditions of our faiths brings us together and allows us to represent the full tapestry of the American people. Grateful to all who celebrated together today. Eid Mubarak.
.@SaveTibetOrg Chairman Richard Gere, @tibet_net representatives, and @StateDept leadership enjoyed today's #Losar celebration. This #TibetanNewYear, and every day, we stand with Tibetans and will work to safeguard their culture, religion, & human rights. youtube.com/watch?v=P_Gder…

Today is National #ReligiousFreedomDay in the United States.
Thanks for your initiative, leadership and commitment, @IRF_Ambassador! We'll carry #IRFBA’s mission forward, supported by @StateIRF #FoRB4All
Had a substantive and action-oriented meeting of the International Religious Freedom or Belief Alliance. It was bittersweet as it was my final meeting in my current role, but I was encouraged by the commitment of our partners to carry this work forward. go.usa.gov/xAy3Z
President @realDonaldTrump has proclaimed January to be National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month and called on each of us to do our part to #EndTrafficking. Read more about it here: go.usa.gov/xA8Dc.
Wishing @SecPompeo a very happy birthday!
Very concerned by the CCP's crackdown on religious publications. This includes online bookseller Chen Yu who faces 7 years in prison for legally selling Christian books. Restrictions unfairly punish people of all faiths who publish, sell, and use these materials.
