The state has discriminatory policy against Muslim citizens - Giorgi Mshvenieridze


The "Democratic Initiative of Georgia" calls on the government to stop discriminatory and repressive policies against the Muslim community.

Also asks the goverment to give to them adequate conditions to perform religious rituals like the dominant religious group has.

NGO estimated that instead of the elimination of discrimination and religious freedom within the state, the irresponsible state policy may ignite new conflicts between the dominant religious group and representatives of religious minorities.

The organization released a statement that was preparedi after the meeting with the Muslim community in the village of Mokhe.

"The government, both central and local authorities, has a discriminatory policy against Muslim citizens.When the state gave away for one lari the spot of land to the Orthodox Church, the state should timely complete a study of the controversial ownership case of the former mosque building in such a way that the Muslim community interestas are not overlooked, "- said Giorgi Mshvenieradze.
