** Europe experienced a surge in government restrictions on religious activity over the last decade ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
From national laws regulating religious dress to local laws banning public worship by Muslims, religious restrictions have in recent years become more common in Europe. Indeed, while the Middle East-North Africa region had the highest levels of religious restrictions in the world, Europe saw some of the biggest increases ([link removed]) over the last decade in certain types of restrictions. These findings come from a recent Pew Research Center report ([link removed]) that analyzes restrictions on religion (by both governments and private individuals or social groups) from 2007 to 2017.
