Freedom of religion in Mauritania

Freedom of religion in Mauritania is highly restricted, as the country defines itself constitutionally as an Islamic republic and recognizes Islam as the religion of the State and its citizens. While non-Muslim expatriates are generally permitted to worship privately, public religious pluralism, proselytization, and activities perceived as contradicting Islamic principles are prohibited or tightly controlled.
