Life for Christians
All religious activity must be registered with the government. Violators are commonly fined for distributing religious texts, discussing religion or holding worship meetings. Some church leaders protest these laws by refusing to pay fines. This has resulted in numerous police raids, confiscation of property, prison sentences and prohibition from travel outside the region.
