The undersigned are united by a similar story. Some of us were born in a family that already belonged to a religious denomination called "Jehovah’s Witnesses", and some of us chose to join this religion at some point in our lives. It’s interesting that this religion is officially recognized in Spain ("notorio arraigo”) by your Ministry. We’ve suffered abuses in this organization, that’s why some of us as victims have recently joined the collective AbusosTJ. Since October of this year, media in our country have echoed in their printed pages, radio and TV programs news regarding this organization. This news, which doesn’t reassure society, is about public denunciations of facts denounced before different police forces, complaints that have been presented with evidence, testimony, written notes, policies of this organization, etc.
As shown by the media, there are currently courts in Spain that play a parallel role to Spanish justice. In these parallel Jehovah’s Witnesses’ courts (called "judicial hearings" by the organization), their members are secretly tried without the proper authorities ever being informed, with crimes as serious as sexual abuse of minors, scams, robberies, and more.

We hope that you heed our request and we remain at your entire disposal for any additional information you may need.
