DEFEND RUSSIAN HINDUS CAMPAIGN

Motion Text

That this House notes with concern the denial of a place of worship for the Hindu community in Moscow as a result of the retraction by the Moscow City Government of an offer of land which was to be made available for the construction of a new temple; further notes the intolerance shown towards Hinduism in certain quarters in Russia; regrets the effect of this on individual Hindus wishing peacefully to follow their faith and the wider implications for religious toleration in Russia; and expresses its support for the Defend Russian Hindus campaign.
