<p>The right to freedom of religion is enshrined in the Nepali Constitution of September
2015, however we are concerned that provisions around changing religion are open to
interpretation. Freedom of religion or belief – particularly conversion - remains
a sensitive issue. Our Embassy in Kathmandu monitors the human rights situation closely
and has consistently encouraged the Government of Nepal and members of Nepal's parliament
to ensure Nepal meets its international human rights obligations, this includes freedom
of religion or belief, and we will continue to do so. I also raise these issues with
the Nepalese Ambassador to London at a meeting on 9 October 2017.</p>
