USCIRF Wants US To Raise Religious Freedom Questions In UN On 4 Countries

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom last Friday wrote Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (full text of letter) urging that U.S. representatives to the United Nations raise religious freedom issues at this month's Human Rights Council Universal Periodic Review session. USCIRF is particularly concerned about Iran, Iraq, Egypt and Kazakhstan, all of whom are up for review in the seventh session of the UPR process.
