Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 7 September 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with the government of Afghanistan on the extent of religious freedom in that country.
The Government strongly supports the right to freedom of religion or belief. We are working to support all individuals who face discrimination and persecution on the basis of religion, wherever they are in the world. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has a regular dialogue with the Afghan Government on human rights, including the need to ensure the security of all Afghans, regardless of religion. Article two of the Afghan Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and we expect the Afghan Government to fully implement this. In addition, we will also raise particular cases of concern with the Afghan Government as necessary.
