Religious Freedom in Nigeria: HART Joins Local Voices to Reverse US State’s Decision

HART is deeply disturbed by the US Department of State’s decision to remove Nigeria from its list of ‘Violators of Religious Freedom’. We receive daily reports of terrorist violence, mass forced displacement, forced conversions, the rise in abductions for ransom and a general backsliding on democratic practices. Given the scale and depth of suffering, we join many others in urging the State Department to reconsider its decision and to shine a light on severe religious freedom violations in Nigeria.
