Religious freedom conditions in Egypt are poor. Baha'is, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and other religious minorities are unable to gain official recognition, impairing their ability to participate in civic life. Various forms of discrimination plague Coptic Christians and other religious minorities. State textbooks teach religiously discriminatory content.

Religious groups that refuse to submit to the government’s all-encompassing control over religious affairs face persecution. Authorities surveilled, detained, fined, disappeared, imprisoned, tortured, and denied medical care to Uyghur Muslims, Tibetan Buddhists, underground Catholics, house church Protestants, Falun Gong practitioners, Church of Almighty God members, and others. Authorities engaged in transnational repression against religious freedom activists living abroad.

Burma’s religious freedom conditions have deteriorated amidst ongoing civil war. Over 3.4 million were displaced, including 320,000 Christians and one million Rohingya refugees. The Burmese military blocked aid, destroyed religious sites, and killed clergy and civilians with airstrikes and arson. Attacks on churches, mosques, and monasteries persisted as the government instilled fear and targeted opposition. At least 128 religious leaders are still detained.
