oops sorry that “LEAAAAAAAVE” thing was on accident… Anyways.. religious freedom is very important beacause without it, It could destroy the people and their lives and could cause devestation and depression. I believe that everyone should have religious freedom..It can bring peace and other great things to this world.

A friend just shared that the law again religious freedom was found unconstitutional, but the president still has time to respond. Let us continue our messages of supporting religious diversity and freedom in Kazakhstan to encourage the president of that country to support religious liberty.

KAZAKHSTAN: “THE CURRENT RELIGION LAW WAS FOUND UNCONSTITUTIONAL”

Kazakhstan’s Constitutional Council announced on 11 February that the restrictive “Law on Amendments and Additions to Several Legislative Acts on Questions of Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations” is unconstitutional.

President Nazarbaev has up to one month to respond to the decision. He can propose changes to the decision, but these must be supported by two-thirds of the Constitutional Council’s members to take effect.

Dear Mr President

Diversity creates strength. I hope that your great nation will find the example of my nation in allowing freedom of religion for your citizens. Unity comes from the understanding and accepting all.
In peace

Dr. Mr. President,
Freedom is what makes a country a strong. If you take away your peoples freedoms, you take away their strength. Please reconsider the law that would take away the freedom of religion. Make your country a country people want to live in and be proud of.
Sincerely,
Cindy Kane

Working with a variety of different religious groups professionally has allowed me to be amazed by how much we have to learn from each other, and how impoverished our lives would be without knowing and respecting the beliefs of our neighbors.
