Geneva (Switzerland), Sep 13 (ANI): Secretary General of Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation (UNPO), Ralph Bunche said that UNPO hopes that European Union will follow the lead of United States and recognise Pakistan as huge violator of international religious freedom standards. Bunche said, “Today I was speaking about religious freedom in Pakistan, especially Sindh. I highlighted that there has been very significant and long going issue of freedom of religion in Pakistan. Last November, US Dept of State designated Pakistan as a country of particular concern under International Religious Freedom Acts which puts Pakistan in company of some horrible states in terms of religious freedom and says you can’t ignore problems with religious extremism and persecution in Pakistan.” He further added, “UNPO hopes that European Union will follow the lead of United States and recognise Pakistan as huge violator of international religious freedom standards and take action to make sure that it no longer get good pat on the back that it's getting from general system of preferences program.”
