The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) is the world's largest security-oriented intergovernmental organization. Its mandate includes issues such as arms control, human rights, freedom of the press and fair elections. Most of its 3,500-plus staff are engaged in field operations, with only around 10% in its headquarters.
The OSCE is an ad hoc organization under the United Nations Charter (Chap. VIII), and is concerned with early warning, conflict prevention, crisis management and post-conflict rehabilitation. Its 56 participating states are in Europe, former Soviet Union and Northern America and cover most of the northern hemisphere. It was created during the Cold War era as an East-West forum.

They are fighting tooth & nail for religious freedom when they themselves strip their followers of that right. The OSCE needs to be made aware of this. The federal prosecutor in Brazil has said they are in violation of the Brazilian constitution. They continue to say they are not a cult when they meet the criteria for one. Petitions, letters need to flood the OCSE with our stories. Cult experts need to weigh in also. How does the WBT$ keep getting away with not being classed a cult and getting so many cases in their favor? $$$$ does so much more for them than their trust in God.

I am not sure OSCE is the best route, they are fighting for the rights of JW's, will be difficult to get them to change their postition. IMO

This appears to not be the OSCE, but the Watchtower in Bulgaria having an extra session on its own during lunch? Or so it seems to me.
The OSCE likely wants to be as politically correct as possible. They have seen Russia and Bulgaria complain about the JWs. But, the bulk of ex-JWs have not come forward to launch their complaints. It will take more then one try, likely. But, it will be an education. If we don't try, we automaticaly lose.

Skeeter, I posted about this event three days ago. I'm so glad you brought up the subject again and I think your points are excellent and idea is worth pursuing.
I also have some new information that might be useful and will post it tomorrow on this thread.
