Hungarian Constitutional Court Strikes Down Religion Law

Adventist News Network reported yesterday that Hungary's Constitutional Court has struck down Hungary's recently-enacted Law on Churches. The new law which would have gone into effect on January 1 deregistered all but 14 traditional religions.  Some 300 minority religions would have had to reapply to Parliament. The law had been widely criticized by religious freedom advocates. (See prior posting.) [Thanks to Joseph K. Grieboski for the lead.]
