Religious Freedom Summary* (1997) The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government respects this right in practice. Religious groups must register with the Government. Missionaries experienced occasional difficulties in renewing employment permits. While the Government announced a new policy and procedures on temporary employment permits, there were lengthy delays involved in securing renewals of permits (see Section 5). *Source: County Reports on Human Rights Practices for 1997, U.S. Department of State |
