The Spanish Association of Victims of Jehovah's Witnesses wins a key ruling that strengthens freedom of expression
Written on Friday, 24 April 2026 19:28
The Provincial Court of Madrid dismisses in full the lawsuit filed by Jehovah's Witnesses and upholds the right to criticize matters of public interest.
The law firm Bardavío Abogados reports a significant legal victory obtained by the Spanish Association of Victims of Jehovah's Witnesses against the Jehovah's Witnesses of Spain, following the ruling issued by the Provincial Court of Madrid (Section 21), which fully confirms the dismissal of the lawsuit filed against the association.
The ruling, issued on appeal, establishes a legal precedent of particular importance by reinforcing the primacy of the fundamental rights to freedom of expression and information over the right to honor, in the context of a debate of clear public interest and with implications that extend beyond national borders. It is particularly noteworthy that victims and citizens may describe Jehovah's Witnesses as a "destructive cult".
The full resolution can be viewed via the link at the end of this press release.
