The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom held a formal hearing in Washington where commissioners, lawmakers, and experts presented evidence of systematic religious freedom violations in India, including discriminatory anti-conversion laws in 13 states, state-facilitated attacks on minorities, alleged transnational repression targeting diaspora activists in North America, and forced deportations of Rohingya refugees. The commission again urged the State Department to designate India a 'country of particular concern,' citing what speakers described as normalized violence against religious minorities and widespread impunity for perpetrators.
