Namaste, iam Raul Zager, Promise me you’ll have a good time.
Oh man, talk about a bummer! Countries banning Jehovah Witnesses is a real downer. I mean, it’s just not right. It’s like they’re saying “no way” to freedom of religion and that’s totally uncool. But hey, let’s take a look at why this is happening and what we can do about it.
Why Do Countries Ban Jehovah’S Witnesses? [Solved]
Well, it’s no secret that Jehovah’s Witnesses have been locked up in a lot of countries for not wanting to join the military. In some places, their religious practices are totally off-limits - Singapore, China, Vietnam, Russia and a bunch of Muslim countries. Yikes!
Russia: In 2017, the Russian Supreme Court declared Jehovah’s Witnesses an “extremist organization” and banned its activities in the country.
China: The Chinese government has long viewed Jehovah’s Witnesses as a threat to national security and has banned their activities since 1995.
Saudi Arabia: The Saudi government considers Jehovah’s Witnesses to be a heretical sect of Islam and has outlawed their activities since 1994.
Eritrea: The Eritrean government considers Jehovah’s Witnesses to be a threat to national security and has banned their activities since 2002.
North Korea: North Korea does not officially recognize any religion, including Jehovah’s Witnesses, and bans all religious activity in the country, including that of the group’s members
Many countries have banned Jehovah’s Witnesses, which is a real bummer. It’s a shame that people can’t practice their religion freely, but unfortunately it’s the reality in some places. It’s a tough situation for those affected, and it just goes to show how important religious freedom is. Let’s hope that more countries will recognize the importance of allowing people to practice their faith without fear of persecution.
