The activity encourages peer learning and bolsters existing mechanisms for local self-governments to engage in a national dialogue.

    Enclosed information material is submitted by the European Association of Jehovah's Witnesses European Association of Jehovah's Witnesses KYRGYZSTAN RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ISSUES STATEMENT BY THE EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES O S C E H u m a n Dimension Implementation M e e t i n g , W a r s a w 16–27 SEPTEMBER 2019 K y r g y z s t a n There are some 5,300 of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Kyrgyzstan, and they are generally free to meet for worship and to share their faith with others. They obtained national registration in August 1998. However, Jehovah’s Witnesses have two prinCipal ongoing ConCerns: Problems with registering loCal religious organisations (LROs) in the southern regions of the country. Without registration of LROs, local authorities view the Witnesses’ religious activity as illegal, thus leaving them vulnerable to police harassment. Draft amendments to the 2008 Law on Freedom of Religion and Religious Organizations (Religion Law) that if enacted would severely restrict religious freedom. Jehovah’s Witnesses have met with government ofcials in Kyrgyzstan 3 to address these concerns and to express appreciation to the govern- ment for being open to dialogue. Abuses and Restrictions of Religious Freedom RESTRICTIVE DRAFT AMENDMENTS TO THE RELIGION LAW On 27 June 2018, the State Commission on Religious Afairs (SCRA) pre­ sented draft amendments to the current law “On Freedom of Worship and Religious Associations.” While some provisions were less restrictive than in earlier drafts, two proposed amendments are of serious concern to Jeho- vah’s Witnesses: A ban on “house to house dissemination of religious conviCtions.” —Proposed amendment to Article 5 (4).
