‘Human rights organisations must speak up for Hindus’ says former Spiritual advisor to Trump

Johnnie Moore, the former Commissioner of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), and the former spiritual advisor to President Trump has called on Human Rights Organisations need to speak up on atrocities against Hindus in wake of the recent reports of persecution of minorities in Bangladesh.

“Human rights organisations and religious freedom organisations sought to raise their voices every second right. I think that a lot of times the Hindu community, when they are persecuted around the world, unfortunately, fewer people speak up about it. I’m committing to doing the exact opposite… I’m calling for the world’s human rights and religious freedom organisations to do the same… When Muhammad Yunus came in as the interim leader of the country, he made promises related to democracy, the rule of law, and all these values that are cherished by the West and our international institutions… This is a moment of existential threat not only for the minorities of Bangladesh but for the entire country. It is a call to advocate for human rights and religious freedom to speak up,” he said.

The remarks by Moore come amid the background of the arrest of priest Chinmoy Krishna Das in Bangladesh. The spiritual leader remains under arrest for alleged crimes of sedition. (ANI)
