Minority Rights Defenders

Is religious freedom a crime?
When people in a society cannot worship according to their faith, when minorities live in the shadow of fear, when questions are asked with a beating heart. Then understand that silence has now become a crime.

We raise our voice today
We want equality, we want protection, we want religious freedom.
It is also the responsibility of the state
And the moral responsibility of every citizen
To stand against religious hatred, prejudice and injustice.

We ask for peace
We ask for justice
We ask for freedom. For every religion
This smile is a hope and this smile is a message that religious freedom is for everyone
