From Stigmatization to Violence: A Public Health Approach to Media-Driven Persecution
CAP Liberté de Conscience (CAP LC) addressed the UN Human Rights Council (HRC 61) on the dangerous link between sensationalist media and violence against religious minorities. Applying the WHO’s “Public Health Approach to Violence Prevention,” we highlighted how media stigmatization acts as a precursor to physical attacks. Citing the “digital witch-hunt” against the Christian Gospel Mission and a recent hammer assault in Taiwan, we called for a UN expert group to monitor media bias and protect believers from persecution fueled by online hate.
