Press statement by the OIC Group in Geneva on recent public, premeditated and recurrent desecration of the Holy Quran.

[OIC Group in Geneva @OICinGeneva]

We strongly condemn yet another deliberate and despicable act of desecration of #HolyQuran in Sweden today. #HRC has determined these vile acts as manifestation of religious hatred, incitement to violence, & their prohibition under Int. HR law. Impunity to spread hate must stop.

[OIC Group in Geneva @OICinGeneva]

The OIC Group notes with grave concern media reports on grant of permission by Swedish police to burn the Holy Quran tomorrow. We call on Swedish authorities to urgently revisit this decision & prevent this act of religious hatred in line with HRC resolution adopted last week.

[Miguel Ángel Moratinos @MiguelMoratinos]

The desecration of sacred religious books is not freedom of expression. It is rather an expression of contempt and religious hatred.

[OIC Group in Geneva @OICinGeneva]

We are also deeply concerned over reports of government permission to burn Torah and Bible tomorrow in Sweden.

We call on states to act in accordance with OIC-led HRC resolution on countering religious hatred, discrimination and incitement to violence.

The OIC Group shares the concerns of High Representative for UN Alliance of Civilizations @miguelmoratinos on yet another despicable act of desecration of the Holy Quran in front of a mosque in Germany.

Statement by Amb @KhalilHashmi at the Human Rights Council today on behalf of OIC Group in Geneva on why an urgent debate is required on the recurrent desecration of the Holy Quran

[OIC Group in Geneva @OICinGeneva]

At the request of 🇵🇰, on behalf of the OIC Group in Geneva, the HRC has today decided to hold an urgent debate on the premeditated acts of desecration of the Holy Quran. The debate will take place on 11 July 2023. The OIC request and the statement delivered are placed below:

[OIC Group in Geneva @OICinGeneva]

We are deeply concerned at yet another incident of burning of the Holy Quran in Sweden. We condemn this heinous act as well as the decision to permit it. This is an abdication of responsibility in the face of incitement to hatred disguised as protest & free expression.
