US Officials Complain About Proposed Sri Lankan Anti-Conversion Law

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

It said that, among other things, the proposed law is worded so broadly that its practical effect is to ban distribution of religious literature and chill freedom of inquiry. Yesterday's Christian Post reports that 15 members of Congress have also sent a letter to the Sri Lankan ambassador to the United States urging the Sri Lankan government to drop the bill. A final vote in Parliament on the anti-conversion bill had been expected this month. Sri Lanka is approximately 70% Buddhist. (See prior related posting.)
