They are now protesting shunning in Italy !!!! ITALIAN EX-JWs PROTEST DISCRIMINATION IN ROME: Disfellowshipped Italians protested discrimination in Rome near the Chamber Of Deputies on December 1. Literature was handed out, legislators and media informed; an article will be appearing in a major Italian paper. Protestors came from all over Italy and some of Switzerland:
Discussion here with links to the Italian papers:
BRAZILIAN EX-JWs LAWSUIT HEADING TO NATIONAL SUPREME COURT; THREATS MADE: A lawsuit spearheaded by Sebastian Ramos of the Fortaleza area in northeastern Brazil is advancing again. Ramos and his supporters had held a protest rally with speech, marched with huge banners noting that Watchtower has “Jehovah’s Witnesses discriminate against former members,” put out leaflets etc; have support from human rights activitists etc.
Threats have been made against them. Their peaceful activities were photographed by opponents etc, some counter protesting made calling for the lawsuit against Watchtower to be dropped. Ramos has applied to enter a witness protection program for safety, but the cause that he made public is advancing again despite an early effort by Watchtower to block it.
Will their activism now spark similar efforts in the U.S. and other nations?
