Worked with client to sign and send a letter signed by 49 religious and human rights organizations and leaders of varying faiths, addressed to leaders and members of the House, and made follow-up contacts to urge them to act quickly to consponsor, mark-up and pass H.R. 1856, the International Religious Freedom Amendments of 2011, a bill to amend the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 (IRFA) to strengthen the promotion of religious freedom in the United States foreign policy and to reauthorize the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF). Worked with the client to sign a letter signed by 36 religious and human rights organizations and leaders of varying faiths, addressed to House and Senate leadership, and urged them to support and pass H.R. 440 and S. 1245. These bills would establish a Special Envoy to Promote Religious Freedom of Religious Minorities in the Near East and South Central Asia. Worked with the client to sign and send a letter signed by 28 religious and human rights organizations and leaders of varying faiths, addressed to the Secretary of State, and urged the Secretary to designate Pakistan a "country of particular concern" (CPC). But since we also realize that this designation, by itself, could merely aggravate our deteriorating relations, we urged the Secretary to stress to the Pakistani authorities the value of advancing religious freedom in order to undermine extremism and the culture of violence. The negative CPC designation should be supplemented with positive foreign policy actions that assist in the development of legal, educational and cultural institutions and procedures that can change state and societal behavior in Pakistan. Worked with the client to sign a letter signed by 40 religious and human rights leaders of varying faiths, addressed to the leaders of the House Judiciary Committee, and urged them to renew the Lautenberg Amendment as quickly as possible. The Lautenberg program provides a critical lifeline for thousands of religious minorities escaping persecution in certain countries that have been recognized as engaging in or tolerating particularly severe violations of religious freedom. If the program is not renewed, Iranian religious minorities will be stranded in Iran, unable to access the protection of the United States. Worked with the client to contact members of the House to express concerns about religious discrimination and persecution that is occurring in Israel. The U.S. State Department has issued human rights and international religious freedom reports for the last ten years that detailed instances of violence against minority religious groups. The opening of the new home for the Center of Scientology Israel, a college for spiritual and religious education, was delayed by arson and two subsequent attempts at arson as well as a permit objection that appeared to be religiously-motivated. We asked members of the House to contact leaders of the Israeli government to urge them to ensure that religious discrimination does not prevent the Center from opening in Tel Aviv. Worked with the client to sign and send a letter signed by 23 religious and human rights leaders of varying faiths, addressed to the Secretary of State, to express our deep concern about a proposed religion law that was to be voted on by the Parliamentary Assembly of Hungary in late June. This legislation would represent a serious setback for religious freedom in Hungary as the legislation contravenes standards of the OSCE, European Union, Council of Europe, European Court of Human Rights and United Nations by discriminating against minority religious groups. The legislation would de-register targeted minority faiths that have been registered as religions in Hungary since the adoption of the 1990 Religion Law, while allowing favored religious organizations to maintain their registered religious status and enjoy all the rights and privileges that flow to religious organizations under the Bill. We urged the Secretary to raise this issue with the Hungarian Prime Minister and with leaders of the Hungarian Parliament.
