Although this is a secular state, Islam has a growing influence on politics and society. A law introduced in January increased restrictions on religious groups. All churches must re-register and a minimum of 200 people is required for registration. Pastors and churches are monitored and there is a ban on religious teaching and the distribution of religious literature. Threats and harassment towards believers increased. Social pressure on Christians is especially strong in the south.
