Letter requesting travel ban on human rights Violators in india
The IRF Community and International Society for Peace and Justice circulated a letter requesting the U.S. Secretary of State to impose targeted sanctions on individuals responsible for severe human rights violations against religious minorities in India and to urge the Indian government to protect places of worship under the Places of Worship Act. The letter highlights incidents of violence, hate speech, and police misconduct under leaders such as Yogi Adityanath, Yati Narsinghanand, and other officials. It also stresses the need for UNESCO to designate these sites as World Heritage Sites to preserve their historical and cultural significance. The appeal emphasizes the urgency of addressing religious intolerance and ensuring justice for minority communities in India.
