answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2014 answer text Our Ambassador designate met the Indonesian Minister for Law, Justice and Human Rights on 18 November and raised the rights of religious minorities and freedom of expression. He was assured that the bill for the Protection of Religious People/Minorities would be submitted to parliament soon. We also maintain a regular dialogue with religious leaders, civil society and government officials on freedom of religion or belief; as well as supporting project work, such as human rights training. The third EU-Indonesia Human Rights Dialogue was held on 12 November and, in response to concerns we raised, the new Indonesian government underlined the importance they attach to tackling discrimination against religious minorities. We are encouraged that the newly inaugurated Indonesian government has already taken some positive steps to promote freedom of religion or belief. The Minister of Religious Affairs has announced plans to develop legislation to strengthen protection to adherents of all religious beliefs and the Minister for Home Affairs has stated that he is investigating how district and regional governments can better protect the rights of minorities. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 10/12/2014 14:25:37 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
