Dear President Nasheed,
We are distressed to hear about the numerous legal restrictions on non-Muslims in your country, notwithstanding your promises to guarantee democracy and the respect for human rights. Particular cases in point are that all non-Muslims are excluded from Maldivian citizenship and that the few Maldivian Christians are forced to live an underground existence.
We urgently call for full religious liberty for all inhabitants in Maldives in accordance with article 18 of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights.
Your sincerely and respectfully, |
