Human rights in Bhutan

In general, the status of human rights in Bhutan is poor. The greatest concern is the status of Bhutanese refugees and the protection of the Lhotshampa Nepalese minority remaining in Bhutan. There are also concerns as to the freedom of religion in Bhutan, namely a ban on non-Buddhist proselytism and state support of religion.
