News Conference on a Case Study of Religious Freedom Violations in China
On
December 14, 2017, a news conference with the theme of Religious
Freedom Violations in China—A Case Study of Persecution Against
Christian Minorities was jointly held by the Center for Studies on
New Religions (CESNUR) and the Center for Studies on Freedom of
Religion, Belief and Conscience (LIREC) in the Italian Chamber of
Deputies in Rome. The meeting focused on the appeal being made on the
issues of rejected refugee applications and impending repatriation of
a majority of The Church of Almighty God's Christians that had fled
to Europe. It is also the first time that a news conference on the
persecution of The Church of Almighty God was held in the Roman
Chamber of Deputies. Members of the Senate, Chamber of Deputies and
an internationally renowned research expert on new religions,
Professor Massimo Introvigne, made speeches separately, calling on
all European countries to approve the refugee applications of these
Christians in accordance with the international conventions on
refugees.
