Frederick reappointed as USCIRF commissioner

WASHINGTON, 28 April 2022, (TON): U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer has reappointed Commissioner Frederick A. Davie to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom for an additional two-year term, ending in 2024.

USCIRF Chair Nadine Maenza stated “Commissioner Davie’s insight and knowledge are a valuable asset to USCIRF’s work. His personal commitment to international religious freedom has enhanced our work and contributed to USCIRF’s policy recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State, and Congress.”

“On behalf of the Commission, we are thrilled that he will be continuing to share his expertise for another two-year term.”

Commissioner Davie was initially appointed to USCIRF by Senator Schumer in June 2020 for a two-year term.

During his first term, for example, he advocated for Nigerians Mubarak Bala and Yahaya Sharif-Aminu as part of USCIRF’s Religious Prisoners of Conscience project.
