SOT, Donald Trump, US President: "Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhist, Hindus, Sikhs, Yazidis and many other people of faith are being jailed sanctioned, tortured and even murdered. Often at the hands of their own governments, simply for expressing their deeply held religious beliefs. So hard to believe. Today with one clear voice the United States of America calls upon the nations of the world to end religious persecution."
