Shortly after Bishop Daniel of Tartu's statement to the UN, the President of Estonia refused to sign the law amending the Republic's Law on Churches and Parishes.

The Alliance encourages Christians to continue to use UN appearances and other forms of international advocacy to defend the right to religious freedom!
