Expulsión y familia · Claim record

El 4 de marzo de 2024, el Tribunal de Distrito de Oslo confirmó la negativa de Noruega a conceder subvenciones estatales y el registro, al considerar que la práctica de expulsión vulneraba el derecho de los menores bautizados a abandonar libremente la religión (les resultaba 'casi imposible' ejercerlo) y equivalía a violencia psicológica, y condenó a la organización a pagar unas costas de alrededor de 1,14 millones de coronas noruegas.

Oslo tingrett (Oslo District Court), judgment TOSL-2022-186588 / TOSL-2023-23178, “Jehovas vitner v. Staten v/Barne- og familiedepartementet”

4 de marzo de 2024 · sections 3.1, 3.3 (as extracted) · Oslo tingrett (published on Lovdata)

“For døpte mindreårige i den alderen vil det være tilnærmet umulig å utøve retten til fri utmelding”

Judge Ole Kristen Øverberg acquitted the State and ordered the organisation to pay costs of NOK 1,140,505, holding that the exclusion practice infringed baptised minors' right of free withdrawal and amounted to 'psykisk vold' (psychological violence); the judgment quoted the lv appendix ('Lojale kristne familiemedlemmer leter ikke etter unnskyldninger for å ha kontakt ...').

Nota de confianza. Lovdata page opened via the fetch tool, which returned the case numbers, date, judge, outcome, costs and extracted Norwegian passages; the full judgment text was not read line by line, so the extracted quotations are reported as the summary gives them, and the claim they support is labelled supported. Downgraded to supported after review: the page was opened but the wording or date recorded here was tool-summarised, translated or inferred rather than confirmed by eye; re-read before upgrading.

“Members of the religious community are thus not to associate with former members, whether disfellowshipped or withdrawn. This also applies to close relatives, unless they belong to the same household. Family ties are not severed, but with regard to family members other than those with whom one lives, contact is permitted only in necessary family matters. It is undisputed that the threshold for such contact is relatively high.”

3-2 majority (Steen, Arntzen, Hellerslia; Poulsen and Falkanger dissenting) dismissed the State's appeal and declared the refusals of registration and grants invalid; unanimous that infringement of children's rights was not proved; majority: practice 'may entail a clear psychological pressure not to withdraw' (para 123) but not 'improper pressure' under Art. 9 ECHR; dissent: right to withdraw infringed.
