Religious freedom conditions in Saudi Arabia remain poor, despite some recent improvements. The Saudi government has lifted certain religious restrictions on women’s rights and issued a new personal status law that codifies certain legal provisions. However, the public practice of any religion other than Islam is prohibited, and no houses of worship other than mosques are allowed in the kingdom.
