In far too many places around the world, we continue to see governments harass, arrest, threaten, jail, and kill individuals simply for seeking to live their lives in accordance with their beliefs. This Administration is committed to supporting every individual\u2019s right to freedom of religion or belief, including by confronting and combating violators and abusers of this human right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach year the Secretary of State has the responsibility to identify governments and non-state actors, who, because of their religious freedom violations, merit designation under the International Religious Freedom Act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am designating Burma, the People\u2019s Republic of China, Eritrea, Iran, the DPRK, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan as Countries of Particular Concern for having engaged in or tolerated \u201csystematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am also placing Algeria, Comoros, Cuba, and Nicaragua on a Special Watch List for governments that have engaged in or tolerated \u201csevere violations of religious freedom.\u201d Finally, I am designating al-Shabab, Boko Haram, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Houthis, ISIS, ISIS-Greater Sahara, ISIS-West Africa, Jamaat Nasr al-Islam wal-Muslimin, and the Taliban as Entities of Particular Concern.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe challenges to religious freedom in the world today are structural, systemic, and deeply entrenched. They exist in every country. They demand sustained global commitment from all who are unwilling to accept hatred, intolerance, and persecution as the status quo. They require the international community\u2019s urgent attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to press all governments to remedy shortcomings in their laws and practices, and to promote accountability for those responsible for abuses. The United States remains committed to working with governments, civil society organizations, and members of religious communities to advance religious freedom around the world and address the plight of individuals and communities facing abuse, harassment, and discrimination on account of what they believe, or what they do not believe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States has disclosed that it has removed Nigeria from its list of religious violators even as it backlisted Russia, China and eight other countries &#8220;as Countries of Particular Concern\u00a0for having engaged in or tolerated \u2018systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom.\u201d This was made known on Wednesday by the US secretary of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":108553,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_override_bookmark_settings":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[19021,303,22665,22666,916],"class_list":["post-108551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us","tag-antony-blinken","tag-nigeria","tag-religious-freedom","tag-religious-violators-list","tag-united-states"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.8 (Yoast SEO v27.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>JUST IN: US takes off Nigeria from religious violators&#039;
