Religious freedom is a universal human right, yet in many countries around the globe, people can’t practice their faith freely.
Is this increasingly becoming the case in India, the world’s largest democracy?
Why are the Chinese regime’s surveillance technologies not just a threat to religious minorities in China but also free people globally?
And among countries known for their egregious violations of religious freedom, how has Sudan recently made a turn for the better?
In this episode, we sit down with Tony Perkins, Chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), and president of the Family Research Council. He also hosts the nationally syndicated radio show, Washington Watch.
We discuss USCIRF’s new 2020 annual report.
