Shabtabnews– The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) today released the following new report:
Increasing Religious Freedom Restrictions on Baha’is in Qatar: This factsheet enumerates restrictions on Baha’is in Qatar and demonstrates ways in which these restrictions may be systematic. It discusses the non-renewal of residency visas and the community’s difficulties related to securing a cemetery. It also discusses questionable financial charges against a Baha’i leader. The factsheet recommends that the U.S. government collaborate with Qatari officials to address these concerns, and further recommends that Congress confirm swiftly an ambassador to Qatar.
