Religious freedom needs to move forward in the world. Unfortunately, 80
percent of the world’s population lives in a country where there’s some
type of religious freedom restrictions, in some cases very significant
Russia has been criticized for banning Jehovah's Witnesses and abusing
its anti-extremism law to prosecute peaceful worshippers and
nontraditional groups including Scientologists.
Since the passing of
Russia's 2016 law criminalizing missionary activity, NGOs have reported
156 cases of religious groups being targeted that also include Christian
groups from various denominations, according to U.S. Ambassador-at-large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback.
