Topic
USCIRF Hearing - Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine: Implications for Religious Freedom
Description
Please join USCIRF for a virtual hearing on the Russian government’s religious freedom violations in Ukraine and Russia.
Since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine a year ago, Russian forces have committed numerous religious freedom and other related human rights violations in Ukraine, including the killing and torture of religious leaders and the destruction of countless houses of worship. Russian officials have repeatedly turned to antisemitic rhetoric and Holocaust distortion in an effort to justify the country’s groundless invasion. In the areas of Ukraine that Russia has occupied since 2014, its de facto authorities and proxies have imposed draconian laws to suppress religious communities such as the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, predominantly Muslim Crimean Tatars and Jehovah’s Witnesses. Meanwhile, in Russia, the state has continued to prosecute an ever-growing list of religious groups as so-called “extremists” for their peaceful religious activities and launched a ruthless campaign to silence civil society and independent media.
Witnesses will identify Russia’s religious freedom violations, analyze the invasion’s impact on religious freedom and other related human rights, and discuss recommendations for U.S. policy toward Russia.
