International Religious Freedom Report, 2010: Uzbekistan (July-December 2010).

摘要

The constitution protects religious freedom; however, other laws and policies restrict religious freedom and, in practice, the government generally enforced these restrictions. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the government during the reporting period. The government generally enforced existing legal restrictions on religious freedom. The law restricts the religious freedom of unregistered groups and prohibits many activities, such as proselytizing; many members of minority religious groups faced heavy fines and short jail terms for violations of these laws. The government continues to deal harshly with Muslims who discuss religious issues outside of sanctioned mosques. However, the government did not interfere with worshippers at sanctioned mosques and permitted the regular operation of religious groups traditionally practicing in the country, including the Muslim, Jewish, Catholic, and Russian Orthodox communities. There were reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. However, society generally is tolerant of religious groups, and religious groups were generally tolerant of each other.
