Uzbekistan
Languages: Uzbek, Russian, Tajik, Kazakh
Even though it is officially a secular state Uzbekistan is considered to be one of the worst of the central Asian countries in terms of religious freedom. The government places severe restrictions on all religious activities - registration is required for churches but is difficult to obtain. Christians are not allowed to share their faith and church leaders have been arrested on false charges.
