Religious freedom violations on the rise

According to a new report by CSW, violations of religious freedom in Cuba have continued to rise in 2014.

Despite government claims of increased respect for religious freedom, documented violations of religious freedom in Cuba continued to increase in 2014. From January to December CSW recorded 220 separate religious freedom violations, many of which involved dozens of victims. This followed 180 documented cases in 2013, compared with 120 in 2012 and 40 in 2011. Religious groups across the spectrum all reported varying degrees of hostility from the government. Few reported any notable improvement.
