Posted August 21, 2009
Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan... Religious leaders and government officials gathered together January 24-25, 2002, in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan to discuss religious freedom concerns. Organized by leaders of religious organizations and parliament members, the theme of the conference, "Freedom on Conscience and Providing an Interreligious Mutual Understanding," was more than appropriate in this country of 4.5 million where there has not been much support for minority groups. The two largest religions are Muslims and Russian Orthodox.
