Letter addressing human rights concerns in mozambique

The IRF Community and Africa Working Group circulated a letter expressing concern over the ongoing insurgency in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, including attacks on houses of worship, and highlights the detention of Ryan Koher, a Mission Aviation Fellowship pilot, and two South African volunteers on charges of "supporting insurgent activity" while delivering supplies to a church-run orphanage. It raises alarm about Mr. Koher’s declining health and calls for assurances of proper medical care. The letter also congratulates Mozambique on its upcoming presidency of the UN Security Council and requests a briefing to address religious freedom and extremist violence in Africa, urging these issues be prioritized during the Council's tenure.
