| Message | This appalling attack on religious freedom makes a mockery of the RKP's claim to be a supporter of human rights. As a member of the International Human Rights Movement, the RKP is obliged to observe the principle that: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance." The RKP's stunning and hypocritical attack on human rights through this bill necessarily requires that the RKP withdraw its membership of the International Human Rights Movement immediately. - Roel de Haan, education and culture spokesperson for the Konservative Partei. |

This should be done in a public way, such as on the Character Transfers thread, so that if a dispute arises in the future, Moderation can be pointed towards evidence of the transfer. |
