ATLANTA, USA (Pajhwok): The US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has called for designating Afghanistan as a “country of particular concern” (CPC) after the Taliban takeover.
In its annual report released on Monday, USCIRF urged the State Department to place Afghanistan on the US list of “countries of particular concern”.
The current US State Department religious freedom blacklist consists of China, Eritrea, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.
The panel said the situation of religious freedom in Afghanistan has deteriorated since the caretaker government came to power. Therefore, the country should be included in . . .
