Freedom of religion in Uzbekistan

The Constitution of Uzbekistan provides for freedom of religion and separation of church and state, although in practice this is not always the case. According to Human Rights Watch "authorities restrict religious freedom by preventing registration of religious communities, subjecting former religious prisoners to arbitrary controls, and prosecuting Muslims on broad and vaguely worded extremism-related charges." There is no restriction on mainstream religious practice by Muslims, Jews and Christians.
