Former Jehovah’s Witnesses in Spain Ask Justice Ministry to Review Religious Status
The Spanish Association of Victims of Jehovah’s Witnesses (AEVTJ) is calling on the Ministry of Justice to reconsider the official recognition of Jehovah’s Witnesses as a religion.
They highlight the social ostracism and psychological harm faced by expelled members, some of whom testified in a 2022–2023 trial in Torrejón de Ardoz. The association now represents over 600 former members and continues to receive private outreach from others still in the religion.
