[划词 ]
参考答案: "It is the commission's contention that there are scores of religious prisoners of concern in Vietnam, detained and imprisoned, in part, for their attempts to exercise their religious freedom to advocate on behalf of it.
The State Department responded that Vietnam has made significant improvements in its record on religious freedom in recent years, enough to avoid returning to the list. A State Department spokesman said Friday Vietnam has released prisoners, reopened churches and banned forced renunciations of faith, and that incidences of harassment and abuse are down significantly.
Saudi Arabia is already on the State Department's list, and after a visit to the kingdom last year, the commission says it should stay there. The report says the Saudi government has not kept its promise to tolerate religious expression other than its form of Sunni Islam, or to stop printing school books that incite hatred and violence.
The Commission on International Religious Freedom also released a "watch list" of countries it considers lesser violators--Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Belarus, Cuba, Egypt, Indonesia and Nigeria.
Michael Cromartie says the group is seriously concerned about the level of religious freedom in Iraq, where non-Muslims face widespread violence from Sunni insurgents and foreign extremists.
