Designations Under the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998

Press Statement
Heather Nauert
Washington, DC
January 4, 2018



In far too many places around the globe, people continue to be persecuted, unjustly prosecuted, or imprisoned for exercising their right to freedom of religion or belief. Today, a number of governments infringe upon individuals’ ability to adopt, change, or renounce their religion or belief, worship in accordance with their religion or beliefs, or be free from coercion to practice a particular religion or belief.

In accordance with the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998, the Secretary of State annually designates governments that have engaged in or tolerated systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom as “Countries of Particular Concern”. Today, the Department of State announces that the Secretary of State re-designated Burma, China, Eritrea, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan as Countries of Particular Concern on December 22, 2017. The Secretary also placed Pakistan on a Special Watch List for severe violations of religious freedom.

The protection of religious freedom is vital to peace, stability, and prosperity. These designations are aimed at improving the respect for religious freedom in these countries. We recognize that several designated countries are working to improve their respect for religious freedom; we welcome these initiatives and look forward to continued dialogue. The United States remains committed to working with governments, civil society organizations, and religious leaders to advance religious freedom around the world.

I think minorities are discriminated in Pakistan to some extent. I will take the example of sports here. No one from minority ever got the chance to captain the Pakistan cricket team although stars like Danish Kaneria and Yousaf youhanna played in the team. There are few or no non muslims in the Pakistan cricket team and some of them were banned like Danish Kaneria.

How many Muslim players Australia have? do they discriminate? no.. its due to low number of minorities. Pakistan is 98% Muslim majority country.. what do you expect? you cant compare us with countries like Bangladesh where Hindus are around 10% or with bharat where Muslims are around 15%.. How many sikh/Parsi/Chrisitians Players bharatis currently have in their squad?

On topic, fk off you terrorists..

You will get your answer if you think how you became 98% from 85% in 1947 (16.5 % minorities at that time)
