France, Germany express concern over scrapping of Odhikar’s registration   

France and Germany have reiterated their attachment to freedom of opinion and expression and to the promotion and protection of all human rights throughout the world.

The French Embassy quoting a Facebook post on their verified page on Tuesday said, “We are concerned by the situation of the NGO Odhikar, which was temporarily denied the renewal of its registration.”

The two countries “salute the important work of this NGO” to which the Franco-German Human Rights Prize was awarded in December 2017 by the French and German Ministers of Foreign Affairs, the post reads.
