A senior US official on Monday said far too many govts, including Russia, India, China and Saudi Arabia, continue to freely target faith community members, as the state department released its Congressional-mandatory annual report on international religious freedom. “In India, legal advocates and faith leaders from across the country’s diverse religious communities condemned a case of extreme hate speech against Muslims in the city of Haridwar,” Rashad Hussain, Ambassador at Large, Office of International Religious Freedom, said.
