A delegation from the Christian Solidarity International (CSI) has arrived in Armenia on a fact-finding mission.

Last November, a CSI delegation already had visited Armenia on a fact-finding mission, and also participated in the inaugural Republic of Armenia Prayer Breakfast. In addition, the delegation had met with representatives of Armenia’s local civil society, as well as family members of Armenian detainees and their lawyers.

While the International Religious Freedom Summit is underway in Washington, DC, the CSI delegation is returning to Armenia for a new fact-finding visit. The delegation is accompanied by Erich Vontobel, a member of the Swiss National Council, the lower house of the Swiss parliament.

The CSI and the Armenian Center for Political Rights (ACPR) on Tuesday will hold a press conference, during which the results of both organizations’ studies on the state of religious freedom and human rights in Armenia will be presented.

The live broadcast of this press conference will be accessible here.
