More than one hundred people in the former Soviet republic Georgia foiled a congress of the Jehovah's Witnesses. They were stirred up by parliamentary deputy Guram Sharadze, known for his religious intolerance.

Thank you Rado, we are better informed than the dubs at the KH
A sad development. But this piece of information in written in unclear language (well, english isn't my L1 anyway). What does "More than one hundred people in the former Soviet republic Georgia foiled a congress of the Jehovah's Witnesses" mean? What is the meaning of " a congress of Jehovah's witnesses"? Jehovah's Witnesses, like every other religion, deserve a right to practice their religion, as long as fair State laws allow.
A congress is an assembly.
Apparently the Witnesses were trying to have an assembly, convention, and it was interfered with.
Hi Hurt,
Thanks for your remark. I used the same terminology as the Russian newspaper. I didn’t notice that congress isn’t a word used for a Jehovah’s Witness assembly because in my native language (Dutch) we use the word congres for assembly.
