This is new, 2017.
All kinds of religions from different countries were represented by their lobbyists. Scientology was there, Paul Gillies (from UK Branch) was there (tho not on video) Russia (they gave it right back to them... basically: "we went thru the process, they appealed, you can read about it") and Spain - who I thought was interesting.
Information is the beginning of freedom........ This group of political lobbying people seem like a cult themselves, parroting phrases the previous ones have just expressed.
The Canadian speaker was a bit more conservative, and along with this the speaker from SPAIN, brings up a new expression that should be explored. "Freedom of thought" "Freedom to change beliefs " for the INDIVIDUAL...
It is not suppose to be about a RELIGION having freedom, but the person themselves having freedom. Right?
If this OSCE does not like it when governments prohibit people's freedom to worship as they please, why do they let religion prohibit individual's human rights to believe as they want to believe?
