During my recent visit to the State of Qatar I had discussions on #humanrights issues w/ various interlocutors, incl full implementation of labor reforms, #FreedomOfExpression, #MediaFreedom, #FoRB & equal rights for women, girls & #LGBTI persons
⬇️Statement on my official visit
It was not just a tweet, @dardiplo posted this morning.
What he shared was an important message by likeminded countries on the occasion of #ridvan, the most important #Bahai Festival.
Equal enjoyment of FoRB must be upheld by all for all, everywhere.

.@JavaidRehman: in #Iran, religious minorities, particularly the #Bahai-s & Christian converts face arbitrary arrests, detention & ill treatment. #Bahais have been targeted & victimized, their properties arbitrarily confiscated, denied education & forced to close their businesses
