This report focuses on the right freedom of religion or belief in Hungary, where laws concerning church registration result in unjustified and discriminatory restrictions on the practices of faith communities. It also highlights the government’s crackdowns on freedom of expression and assembly, as well as concerns over parental rights in the context of children education.
