    BREAKING NEWS | Norwegian Court Suspends Attempt to Deregister Jehovah’s Witnesses

    We are pleased to inform you that on December 30, 2022, the Oslo District Court granted a temporary injunction to stop the government from taking away our registration as a religious community. Please continue to keep this matter in your prayers.

    enoughisenough : I thought they did deregister, but this is an appeal.

    They were deregistered and allowed to appeal. They asked the County Governor to consider deferred implementation "before the appeal deadline has expired or the appeal has been decided" as allowed in Section 42 of the Public Administration Act.

    The County Governor decided there was no basis for granting deferred implementation.

    The "temporary injunction" means that the Oslo District Court has overruled the County Governor and allowed the deregistration to be deferred until the appeal case is heard.
