Some years ago, the Religious Movements Research Center of Malta, wrote to Brooklyn about the words "free choice" that appeared in the official document between Bulgaria vs WTS (European Court). What make the answer special is that it is signed by a name instead of the usual Watchtower rubber stamp. The original documents can also be consulted and therefore one can see who is the LIAR and HYPOCRITE! Here's the answer they received (for original copy go on the site of kent watchtower.observer.org)

Mr. Martyn Attard
Religious Movements Research Centre
P.O. Box 50

Dear Mr. Attard:
We are writing in response to your letter of December 18, 1998, in which you ask the meaning of the words "free choice" as mentioned in a press release prepared by the European Commission on Human Rights.
This release was not part of the agreement made between the Christian Association of Jehovah's Witnesses and the Government of Bulgaria and is not an accurate reflection of the agreement made between these parties. The documents that govern the relationship between Bulgaria and Jehovah's Witnesses do not include this or a similar statement.
This may or may not answer your question, but the purpose of your question was unclear. if you mean to ask what our religious doctrine regarding blood transfusions is, it remains unchanged. We understand scriptures such as Genesis 9:4; Leviticus 17:13, 14; and Acts 15:20, 28. 29 to include a prohibition of blood transfusions.
We apologize for not responding sooner to your previous correspondence. We hope this provides the information you requested.
Sincerely,
Sign
James N. Pellechia
Director
