- July 10, 2026Sweden Denies Jehovah's Witnesses State Subsidies, Then a Court Orders Them Restored
An earlier version said the Agency for Support to Faith Communities (SST) appealed the Stockholm Administrative Court's 7 May 2026 ruling to the Kammarratten. The appeal was in fact filed by the Swedish Agency for Youth and Civil Society (MUCF), which took over administration of state grants to faith communities on 1 January 2026, when SST was wound up. SST did issue the original October 2025 denial. The earlier version also said Jehovah's Witnesses secured grant eligibility in 2019 through Sweden's Supreme Administrative Court; in fact the government granted eligibility in 2019 after that court repeatedly overturned its rejections.
