The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom has condemned the anti-conversion laws in its annual surveys of global religious liberty, and for the past two years has called on the State Department to designate India as a “country of particular concern,” or CPC, although this has yet to happen. A report issued by the ICC group documented 48 separate incidents of anti-Christian persecution in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, which enacted what has been called the “most stringent” anti-conversion laws in the nation. Under the legislation, potential converts must notify state authorities 60 days in advance of changing their faith, or face penalties of three to five years in jail and a fine of approximately $650.
