The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom and, in practice, the government generally respected religious freedom. The trend in the governments respect for religious freedom did not change significantly during the year. There were no reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice. The U.S. embassy in Port Louis, Mauritius, monitors religious freedom issues in the Seychelles, where there is no permanent U.S. diplomatic presence. In its engagements with senior government officials, non-resident U.S. embassy representatives regularly discussed the rights of religious groups, including their right to disseminate messages and in particular to obtain radio licenses. |
