\n\u201cWe condemn these attacks, and we hold the victims, their families, their communities and their church in prayer,\u201d said Tveit. \u201cThese attacks are even more abhorrent because we have lost two peacemakers who had dedicated their lives to bringing justice to their respective countries.\u201d
\nTveit further called for political and social action in the contexts in which these crimes are taking place. \u201cWe must redouble our efforts to counter the hate and intolerance, and promote respect for diversity, human dignity and rights, and for freedom of religion or belief for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
