Frelimo protected Jehovah's Witnesses

Maputo (AIM) - Mozambican President Joaquim Chissano said in Maputo, on Tuesday, that the state and the various religions in the country are now definitely reconciled.

Speaking to members of the Jehovah's Witnesses sect, Chissano recalled that at different moments in history, across the world, states and churches have clashed in various ways.

"In Mozambique it was the same", he admitted, referring to the period immediately following the country's independence, when Jehovah's Witnesses were accused of counter-revolutionary behaviour, and compulsorily evacuated from Maputo to northern Mozambique.

This was a break with the practices of the liberation war. Chissano recalled that during the struggle for independence, the liberation movement, Frelimo, protected Jehovah's Witnesses.

Kent,

From my information, Frelimo was a murderer of JW's as well as many other innocent people. I have met people who fled under his regime.

Sincerely,

Sometimes extra governmental protection is provided. For example a guy who is a JW cleaned offices. The IRS told him they were going to put him in prison for not paying all his taxes in time. In one of the offices that he cleaned he found stuff showing the business had not been paying all its taxes either, a much larger amount of money that what he himself owed. So he worked out a deal with the IRS. He gave them the information on the business for which he cleaned, and so the IRS let him go, instead putting the other business's owners in prison.
