Only obvious one where this may be currently enforced is El Salvador? Though I can't quickly find any recent examples, so maybe that's not true. And places like Monaco still haven't repealed those laws. Edit: also Poland – from a sibling comment.

- namaria 2y agoWhile this website claims several countries have statutes that allow incarceration under blasphemy convictions, I couldn't find a single instance of a person being jailed in the past few decades under any of them.
- sndean 2y agoYes, restricting scope to jailing for criticizing the Catholic Church, I only see suspended sentences and fines in places like Poland. Expanding to other religions, there are people currently in prison for Quran burning, and religious prisoners in NATO countries (Turkey).
- namaria 2y agoAh so if we are talking about what I was talking about yes but at the same time there are things I wasn't talking about that are different. Noted.
