Working Group on Religious Discrimination in Europe

The All Faiths Network (AFN) is a member of the UK Freedom of Religion or Belief Forum (UK FORB Forum) and the Director of AFN is in charge of a Working Group on Religious Discrimination in Europe. Please send any instances of religious discrimination that you think should be communicated to the UK FORB Forum and made broadly known.
Please note that anything published on this website does not imply agreement or otherwise by the Forum or any of its members. The Forum is not a body that approves or disproves reports or actions, but a forum where information is exchanged and where members can use that information and act together or individually depending on their own determinations.
