WASHINGTON (AP) - On its final working day in office, the Bush administration re-designated eight countries as severe violators of religious freedom but waived possible sanctions against Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan, officials said Monday.
The moves were reported to key members of Congress in late January but were not made public until Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's State Department informed the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom about them last week, State officials said.
