CSW (Christian Solidarity Worldwide) is a human rights organisation specialising in the right to freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) for all. This submission seeks to draw the Council’s attention to the situation of FoRB and other human rights issues in the People’s Republic of China.
CSW receives reports of violations against every major religious community in China, including Muslims, Catholics, Protestants, and Falun Gong practitioners; the right to FoRB in China is rapidly and significantly decreasing.
The increasing abuses of this fundamental right reflect a broader pattern of increasing human rights abuses under Xi Jinping, accompanied by and manifested through a shrinking space for civil society, a heightened sensitivity to perceived challenges to party rule, and the introduction of legislation that curtails civil and political rights in the name of national security.
