King Hamad Global Centre for Peaceful Coexistence Board of Trustees chairman Dr Shaikh Khalid bin Khalifa Al Khalifa has lauded the contents of the annual 2019 report of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office on Human Rights and Democracy, citing its keenness to highlight Bahrain’s positive record in the field of religious freedom, which is included in the human rights field.
Dr Shaikh Khalid said that the praise of the kingdom’s human rights record by the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s annual report clearly reflects the extent to which the freedom of religion and belief is rooted in Bahrain thanks to His Majesty King Hamad’s sound visions and keenness to reinforce the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence, as well as promote them local and globally.
The King Hamad Global Centre for Peaceful Coexistence board chairman stressed that the British report proves to the world the extent to which the freedom of belief and worship is growing freely in Bahrain as an inherent right guaranteed by the constitution, being among the main human rights safeguarded in the kingdom.
This makes Bahrain a role model for guaranteeing and respecting religious freedoms regionally and globally, he said.
Dr Shaikh Khalid affirmed the centre’s commitment to continuing to launch more quality programmes that target a wider segment of the Bahraini society, particularly youth of both sexes, for the sake of instilling the values of tolerance, co-existence and respect for each other in their minds, while focusing on conveying the most beautiful images in the models of freedom of religion and belief.
