Bangladesh: Freedom of Religion
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions she has had with her counterparts in Bangladesh on the (a) anti-Ahmadi protests planned in Bangladesh for 15 November and (b) upholding freedom of religion for Ahmadi Muslims and other religious communities.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
The UK has a long-standing commitment to the promotion and protection of human rights, including Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB). We continue to support those goals through regular dialogue with the Interim Government of Bangladesh, to ensure that the rights of religious minorities, including the Ahmadiyya community, are respected, and that these communities are protected from discrimination.
