The UN Human Rights Committee has again found that the authorities violated the rights of Jehovah s Witnesses by arbitrarily refusing their communities in Naryn, Osh and Jalal-Abad state registration. The State Commission for Religious Affairs must review the denials, provide "adequate compensation", "take all steps necessary to prevent similar violations from occurring", and inform the UN of what it has done within 180 days. The SCRA ignored a similar 2019 UN decision. Deputy Director Gulnaz Isayeva refused to say why it continues to deny these Jehovah s Witness registration applications, and whether Ahmadi Muslims, who were earlier told they could not register, would succeed in any new application.
