The Kingdom of Belgium has called the Algerian government to amend the law on the religious practices by non Muslim communities. It estimates that the law has contributed to “the deterioration” of the religious freedom in Algeria. This intervened in an audience held by the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva yesterday dedicated to discuss the recommendations of a set of European and Latin American countries on the situation of human rights in Algeria.
The representative of Belgium expressed his disappointment as regards the “deterioration of religious freedoms” in Algeria and called the Algerian government to review the pertinent law issued in 2006. The representative of the Holy See called the Algerian authorities to pursue dialogue with religious minorities in the country.
