A new report published Tuesday highlighted concerns that the right to conscientious objection is under threat in France, Spain, and Sweden.
The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe (OIDAC) published the 71-page report examining freedom of expression, parental rights, and freedom of conscience in five European countries: France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the U.K.
