宗教审判 refers to the practice of evaluating and punishing individuals based on their religious beliefs or practices. Historically, this often involved courts or tribunals that enforced religious laws, sometimes leading to severe consequences for those deemed heretical or non-conforming. One of the most notable examples of 宗教审判 is the 宗教裁判所 established during the 中世纪 in Europe, which sought to root out heresy. These trials could result in penalties ranging from fines to imprisonment, and in extreme cases, execution. The impact of such practices has shaped discussions about religious freedom and human rights.
