Fundamentalism and its impact on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association 2016, para. 66
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Finally, the Special Rapporteur notes that anti-religious fundamentalism can be as harmful to assembly and association rights as religious fundamentalism. In Viet Nam, freedom of religion is nominally protected by the Constitution, but the Special Rapporteur has received reports that the State harasses unofficial groups that do not submit to regulations imposing intrusive government control over their operations (see A/HRC/27/72, case VNM 7/2014). The Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief noted, after his 2014 visit to the country, the "tight control" over official religious communities, and "constant surveillance, intimidation, harassment and persecution" of unrecognized communities (see A/HRC/28/66/Add.2). In the Russian Federation, the authorities closed down the local religious organizations of the Jehovah's Witnesses on the ground that it was an "extremist organization" (see A/HRC/31/79, case RUS 6/2015).
