Atlanta, GA, October 17, 2019: The United States Hindu Alliance (USHA) plans to organize the first global human rights conference to “highlight the persecution of 3.2 billion voiceless people worldwide, including Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Taoists, Romas and various native traditions of Asia, Africa and the Americas”, said a press release issued by the organization. HREEM 2019, which will bring together human rights leaders from around the world, representing various countries, ethnicities and religious traditions to work collectively to protect the rights and interests of this vast population, will be held in Atlanta at Gokuldham from December 6 to 8, 2019.
