On 4 November 1991, the Special Rapporteur transmitted the following information to the Government of Greece, under annex II (E/CN/4/1992/52, para. 46): "According to the information received, Mr. Dimitrios Katharios, a religious minister of the Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses appointed to the Prefecture of Evros, was summoned on 16 November 1990 by Mr. Philippos Karagiozidis, Rank II Police Officer of the Alexandroupolis Police Station, who informed him that, in accordance with an order issued by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, he was obliged to close down and seal up the lecture hall used by the followers of the Jehovah’s Witnesses faith in Alexandroupolis, in view of the fact that ’the hall in question was being used as a house of prayer and as a meeting place of the members of the sect of Jehovah’s Witnesses’. On 19 November 1990 the hall is said to have been closed down and sealed up by the officers from the Alexandroupolis Police Station who reportedly indicated in their report that they had ’carried out the self-authorized closing down and sealing up of the House of Prayer and Meeting Place of the sect of Jehovah’s Witnesses, using tape and Spanish wax’. It has further been alleged that Mrs. Lydia Paraskevopoulou, a follower of the Jehovah’s Witnesses faith, had been appointed as a substitute teacher at the Chanakia Grammar School, Ilia prefecture in the Peloponnesus, in November 1990. In December 1990 the primary education administration of the prefecture of Ilia reportedly recalled Mrs. Paraskevopoulou from her post, indicating that ’the duties and functions of each and every educator have been defined and cannot be adjusted to suit their particular standards and tastes, their peculiarities of behaviour and eccentricities’. A decision issued by the Director of Primary Education states that Mrs. Paraskevopoulou is to remain subject to inspection and not to appear at the school until the problem that has arisen is resolved. It has also been alleged that the Ministry of National Education and Religions recently refused to issue a teaching permit to a member of the Jehovah’s Witnesses faith in order that he may teach English at a private tuition centre.
