Forum 18 News Service (http://www.forum18.org) is a Christian web and e-mail initiative to report on threats and actions against the religious freedom of all people, whatever their religious affiliation, in an objective, truthful and timely manner. The name Forum 18 comes from Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and it has been concentrating up to now on the states of the former Soviet Union, including Belarus and Central Asia, but has also published well-received reports on Kosovo, Serbia, Turkey, Cuba, Burma, China (including Xinjiang), Laos, Mongolia, North Korea, and Vietnam.
The Editor, Felix Corley, is available for briefings and interviews and may be contacted at < f18news[at]editor.forum18.org >
A weekly e-mail Forum 18 news summary is published each Friday, as well as an almost daily edition; anyone may subscribe free-of-charge to these via the website here. Material may be freely reproduced or quoted from, with due credit to Forum 18
There is a searchable archive on the website at http://www.forum18.org/Archive.php, which also has personal commentaries on religious freedom at http://www.forum18.org/Commentaries.php, and surveys/analyses of religious freedom in individual countries at http://www.forum18.org/Analyses.php.
