Benin’s 1990 Constitution protects group as well as individual freedom of expression in article 23. However, these expressions of belief must “take place with respect for the secularity of the state.”(Article 23).
Article 23 of Benin’s 1990 Constitution offers a similar guarantee: "
Every person has the right to freedom of thought, of conscience, of religion, of creed, of opinion and of expression with respect for the public order established by law and regulations."
