- #Pride handler om kjærlighet og omtanke for andre. Dette er det motsatte, sier Helsingforskomiteens generalsekretær Beritlinen. - Våre tanker går til ofrene, deres familier og til alle i LHBT-miljøet som igjen føler redsel og utrygghet.

- The attack in #Oslo has again created fear and insecurity in the #LGBT+ community, says NHC Secretary General Beritlinen. - #Pride is about love and care for others. This is the opposite. Our thoughts are with victims and their families.

Hvorfor er trosfrihet en del av utenrikspolitikken? Fordi undertrykkelse av religion skjer overalt, også i våre nærområder. En fredelig verden er i vår interesse. Respekt for menneskerettighetene og trosfrihet er en forutsetning for fred og stabilitet👇 regjeringen.no/no/dokumenter/…
