My impression is, anyway, that they wrote the law and approved it.
Now, under pressure from abroad, they are refraining from using it and
are waiting journalists lose interest in the issue.
The fact that "they reportedly removed" is probably only this.
"They said they did", no proof they did or proof the legislators have
the will to abrogate it.

The changes tending toward greater secularism are inside the society,
not the ruling class. And the ruling class rule and kill now.

I would classify this under "religious prophecies".
