It details the legal framework regulating religion, the situation of Sunni and Ismaili Shi\u2019a Muslims, issues impacting Christian communities, and cases of transnational repression. As part of an effort to maintain complete, authoritarian control over all segments of society, the government of Tajikistan commits systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom. The Tajik government has placed undue restrictions on all facets of religious practice, including prayer, celebrations, education, and rituals. Those who fail to comply with Tajikistan\u2019s regulations can face severe penalties. While Tajikistan\u2019s religious freedom violations negatively impact all religious groups, they especially target the Hanafi Sunni Muslim majority.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn-primary single-cta-btn\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uscirf.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-12\/2023%20Tajikistan%20Country%20Update.pdf\">View PDF<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"block-taxonomytermview\" class=\"block block-custom-blocks block-taxonomy-term-view\">\n<div class=\"content\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscirf.gov\/publications\/tajikistan-country-update?rand=6542\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tajikistan Country Update This report provides an overview of religious freedom conditions and developments in Tajikistan.
