On 11 October 2024, the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), the European Evangelical Alliance (EEA), and the Spanish Evangelical Alliance (AEE) submitted a joint report to the Human Rights Council ahead of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Spain, scheduled for April 2025 during the UPR 49th session.
Our joint submission reported on the right to freedom of religion or belief in Spain, addressing discriminatory provisions in legislation against non-Catholic places of worship and the cases of Protestant pastors who are still excluded from access to the pension system since Franco’s regime.
