Religious-freedom representatives meeting in Prague discussed global persecution alongside legal and social restrictions on religious expression in Western democracies.
The November 2025 discussion brought together findings from Aid to the Church in Need, OSCE/ODIHR, OIDAC Europe and Hungary Helps. Speakers examined authoritarian repression, violent attacks, restrictions on conscience and costly legal proceedings affecting peaceful religious expression.
Participants announced work on a declaration affirming freedom of religion or belief for all, including people who uphold traditional religious teachings, for consideration by Article 18 Alliance member states.
