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. Coptic Christians, Jews, nonbelievers, and other religious minorities remain subject to various forms of discrimination from the government and society. State enforcement of blasphemy and cybercrimes laws also remain key tools of systematic FoRB repression. 

Religious communities in China face persecution when they refuse to submit to the government’s all-encompassing control over religious affairs. Authorities surveil, detain, fined, forcibly disappeared, imprison, torture, and deny medical care to Uyghur Muslims, Tibetan Buddhists, underground Catholics, house church Protestants, Falun Gong practitioners, Church of Almighty God members, and others. Authorities engage in transnational repression against religious freedom activists living abroad. 

Religious freedom conditions in Burma have deteriorated amid the country’s ongoing civil war. Burma’s military (the Tatmadaw) has displaced over 2.5 million people since the 2021 coup, carrying out violence against minorities, particularly Christians in Chin and Kachin States and Muslims in Rakhine State. The Tatmadaw has further targeted religious communities by destroying hundreds of religious sites and arresting and killing religious leaders.
