Religious Freedom Petition to 
President Hamid Karzai, President of Afghanistan 
(to be Presented to the Honorable Ishq Shahryar, Afghan Ambassador to the United States)

Dear President Karzai,

We, the undersigned, do hereby congratulate you on restoring freedom to the people of Afghanistan. You have stood firmly for basic human dignity and liberties. As Christians we salute your leadership and pray for you and your government.

Mr. President, we understand that your government is in the process of writing a new constitution for Afghanistan. We respectfully request that a provision be included that will ensure religious freedom for all citizens of Afghanistan. Under the existing constitution only certain religious groups are specifically offered protection under the law. However, the rights of all with religious convictions should be protected under the new constitution.

There are many expatriate Afghan Christians in Europe and the United States who would like to return to their native land. Without a provision to protect their religious freedom, they feel hesitant about doing so. Therefore, we urge you to make religious freedom a universal right for all citizens of Afghanistan.

Sincerely Yours,
