JW LEAKS has updated their "Human Rights" page with hundreds of pages of documents released, all relating to 19 separate court cases involving Jehovah's Witnesses conducted through the European Court of Human Rights and also the Australian Refugee Tribunal.

The 9 cases that were run through the Australian Refugee Tribunal by the Jehovah's Witnesses all came from Lebanon.

One former member of Jehovah's Witnesses, who advised on a number of refugee and migration cases for Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia, and provided the documents and background information (yet to be published) to JW Leaks, stated:

"Many of the cases before the courts were nothing more than a sham to get family and friends, primarily from the Middle East and Russia, into the country of Australia under false pretences, namely under claims of religious persecution. Some worked, some failed. Those elders helping with many cases were not licensed migration solicitors [lawyers] and clearly broke the law in assisting on these cases. The role that Bethel played in advising and assisting in all of this is irreprehensible. Lawlessness in the extreme. Not only were they helping Jehovah's Witnesses to get into Australia from countries around the world, they were also helping Australian circuit overseers and missionaries get into a number of Asian countries with the use of dummy corporations and businesses set up by Jehovah's Witnesses for this very purpose."

Under Australian law (Migration Act 1958) it is unlawful to assist a person in any way with their immigration application unless you are a registered Migration Agent.

JW Leaks has been informed that documents relating to the migration scam will be handed over to the Australian Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Chris Bowen MP, in early 2013.

More documents will be published by JW Leaks to coincide with this.

JW LEAKS has published the November 27, 2012, judgment from the European Court of Human Rights in:

Khachatryan and Others (Jehovah’s Witnesses) v. Armenia

Application no. 23978/06

EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS

Khachatryan and Others (Jehovah’s Witnesses) v. Armenia

Application no. 23978/06

The applicants are 19 Armenian nationals who are Jehovah’s Witnesses. Having applied to the authorities to perform alternative labour service instead of military service on religious grounds under the 2004 Alternative Service Act, they were each assigned to perform the service in various institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes and dispensaries. In May and June 2005, they respectively informed those institutions that, since the alternative service was under the control of the military, they could not continue to serve in good conscience, and subsequently left their places of service.

Placed in detention for several months following criminal proceedings brought against them for abandoning their service institutions – which had eventually been discontinued – 17 of the applicants complained that they had been detained for an act which had not constituted an offence at the time, in breach of Article 5 § 1 (right to liberty and security) of the European Convention on Human Rights. Further relying in particular on Article 5 § 5 (right to compensation for unlawful detention) they complained that they had been denied compensation for their unlawful detention.

JW Survivors is a victim advocacy group for survivors of the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses within Australia.

JW Survivors is a volunteer not-for-profit community based victim advocacy group for survivors of the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses within Australia. The group was founded by Steven Unthank. The seeds of JW Survivors were planted by current and former members of the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses, and their families, in response to the Victorian Inquiry into the Handling of Child Abuse by Religious and other Organisations, and an extensive submission made in relation to the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses and their administrative controlling corporation, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Australia.

JW Survivors' aim and objectives are:

§ To act as a peak body to represent survivors of sexual abuse, child abuse, religious vilification, and religious bullying from within the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses.

§ To advocate for, and on behalf of, victims of crime committed within the religious setting of the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses.

§ To defend the religious freedoms and human rights of former members of the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses.

§ To force the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses to adopt and implement a formal Child Protection Policy; a Child Safety Policy; a Privacy Policy; and a Working with Children Protocol.

§ To continue to fight for the reinstating of the criminal charges brought against the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses and the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses in 2011, over criminal breaches of the Victorian Working with Children Act 2005.

§ To facilitate in bringing together the elements needed to launch a class action lawsuit on behalf of the 6,160 victims of criminal child abuse committed within the Church of Jehovah's Witnesses, in the State of Victoria, directly in relation to criminal breaches of the Working with Children Act 2005 and committed by the church between July 2008 and December 2011.

§ To be a voice for the silenced.

LATEST NEWS: SUBMISSION TO CHILD ABUSE ROYAL COMMISSION

November 26, 2012

JW Survivors lodged today a submission, written and prepared by Steven Unthank, in reply to the Australian government’s request for stakeholder consultation for the establishing of the “Terms of Reference” for the Child Abuse Royal Commission.

Among the 9 recommendations made to the Royal Commission by JW Survivors was that “the Royal Commission investigate religious and other organisations in relation to their response to working with children laws as legislated in various jurisdictions across Australia.” The submission explained that “working with children laws and child safety legislation are the frontline of physical and sexual protection for children within the community”, and that “a failure, or refusal to comply with working with children laws, by an organisation, religious or otherwise, may be an indicator of the systemic failure of such an organisation to view the physical and sexual safety of children with whom they work with as a priority.” The submission also cited the Church of Jehovah’s Witnesses as an example of one religious organisation engaging in the “wholesale” criminal breaching of working with children laws.

On 12 November 2012, Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced that she will be recommending to the Governor-General the establishment of a Royal Commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse in Australia. Following this government requested the input of stakeholder organisations in making recommendations for the ‘Terms of Reference’ for the Child Abuse Royal Commission. JW Survivors was one of those organisations who made a submission.
