BUMBU Ioan Gruia, General Secretary of International Roma Union,
On behalf of the Roma people, we recognize on the International Day Commemorating Survivors of Religious Persecution that individuals around the world are harassed, threatened, beaten, imprisoned and killed for exercising their beliefs. This day serves as a reminder of the collective need to protect freedom of religion or belief for all and hold state actors to account when they fail to do so.
We maintain our support for global efforts to combat challenges to freedom of religion or belief and to the victims of religiously-motivated violence and attacks.
With respect,
Gruia Ioan BUMBU,
General Secretary of International Roma Union,
President of Pakiv Association, ROMANIA
