UN chief condemns mosque blast in Pakistan

Guterres extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and wished a prompt recovery to those injured..reports Asian Lite News

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned Monday’s suicide bombing at a mosque in Peshawar, Pakistan, that left dozens of people dead, said his spokesman.

“It is particularly abhorrent that the attack occurred at a place of worship. Freedom of religion or belief, including the ability to worship in peace and security, is a universal human right,” said Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman, in a statement.

The Secretary-General extended his heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and wished a prompt recovery to those injured, and reiterated the solidarity of the UN with the government and people of Pakistan in their efforts to address terrorism and violent extremism, the statement added as quoted by Xinhua news agency report.
