Ms. Rosita Šorytė, the chairperson of the International Observatory of Religious Liberty of Refugees (ORLIR), gave a speech on the contested religion-based refugee claims and the case of the persecution of The Church of Almighty God Christians, and appealed that countries who signed international law treaties should grant the persecuted Christians refugee status.
