Moscow conference condemns desecration of holy Quran

Tehran, IRNA – An international conference has been held in Moscow to address the rising trend of disrespect towards divine sanctities in the West, with prominent Muslim and Christian scholars unanimously condemning the recent acts of desecration of the holy Quran.

The event was attended on Wednesday by various dignitaries, including the Iranian ambassador to Russia, the vice president of the Union of the Muslims of Russia, the head of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and the secretary of the Russian Orthodox Church and Interreligious Dialogue.

Initiated by Iran's cultural attaché in Russia, the conference aimed to foster understanding and dialogue among different religious communities and promote inter-faith respect.

In his address at the conference, Iran’s Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali condemned the recent incidents of desecration of the holy Quran in Sweden and Denmark.

He argued that such actions run counter to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the resolutions of the United Nations Human Rights Council, the principles of tolerance and dignity adopted by UNESCO on November 16, 1995, as well as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights.
