...including imposing a stringent regulation of the religious activities of Uighur Muslims and of Catholic clergy not affiliated with the government's " Catholic Patriotic Association'. There were 83 self-immolations by Tibetan monks and nuns in 2012. In Vietnam, the government harrassed and abused followers of the Hoa Hao Buddhist church. In Burma, the government actively promoted Theravada Buddhism over other religions. Some Muslim villages were burned to the ground. In Saudi Arabia, the public practice of any religion other than Islam is prohibited. Shias continue to face discrimination. In Iran, the arrest and harassment of Sunni Muslims increased significantly. A Christian pastor Saeed Abedini was placed under house arrest. In Cuba, the authorities prevented many Catholics from leaving their homes to participate with Pope Benedict XVI's mass. Jehovah's Wintesses and Mormons in Cuba lack any official recognition. In Sudan, a Catholic church and an Episcopal church were destroyed by the government. At least 1, 500 have been imprisoned because of their religious beliefs, including several dozen members of the Jehovah's Witnesses. But anti-Muslim rhetoric and actions are also on the rise in Europe. The impact of these on restrictions to education, employment, public safety or the right to wear religious attire remain important issues of religious freedom."
