Qatar

The Qatari government systematically represses unregistered religious groups, including Baha’is, Buddhists, and Hindus. It limits and monitors worship practices for select Shi’a and Sunni Muslims and a few Chrisian denominations. It denies Baha’is residency permits, prosecutes members of the community, and refuses to issue marriage certificates or allocate burial grounds to them. Official curriculum promotes and endorses discrimination against Christians, Jews, nonbelievers, and Shi’a Muslims.
