U.S. Department of State Human Rights Report 1998
The Constitution provides
for freedom of religion, including the separation of church and state,
and the Government respects this right in practice. Members of the
clergy in government-held areas regularly use their pulpits to criticize
government policies. In 1996 a German clergyman was charged with subversive
activities for speaking out on social issues, but there were no reported
cases of such charges during the year.
While in general UNITA permits freedom of religion, interviews with
persons who left UNITA-controlled areas reveal that the clergy does
not enjoy the right to criticize UNITA policies.
