```That same report states the following:
While the new constitution guarantees for all "the free exercise of beliefs" (Article 3) and "the freedoms of thought, of opinion and of expression under all their forms" (Article 25), in practice there are significant limitations, such as persecution of the Baha'is since the 1960s, and more recently Christians, and Shiites, as well as the non-religious. Baha'ism is traditionally seen as a heretical deviation from Islam and its members are considered "apostates." These minorities are subject to harassment, investigations and detentions by authorities, interrupting and arresting them during their private religious meetings and rituals. (IHEU 28 Oct. 2016)
The International Religious Freedom Report for 2016of the United States (US) Department of State reports the following:
The government reportedly arrested, detained, and questioned local Christians about their beliefs. […]Some local Christians reported authorities pressured converts to renounce their faith. The government monitored, and in some cases restricted, religious activities of Muslims and non-Muslims. It continued to restrict the distribution of non-Islamic religious materials, as well as some Islamic materials it deemed inconsistent with the Maliki-Ashari school of Sunni Islam [majority rite in Morocco].
