USCIRF calls on Biden Administration to do more to protect international religious rights

NEW YORK – Over the past year the federal government’s global religious freedom watchdog has noticed an increase in religious intolerance, persecution, and discrimination around the world, and it is now calling on the Biden administration to step up and do something about it.

“In general, globally, we’re seeing freedom of religion and freedom of belief more and more challenged,” said Stephen Schneck, a Commissioner with the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).
