Current information on the Church of Jesus Christ of Dzorwulu could not be found among the sources currently available to the IRBDC. Information on the current status of the banned churches of Ghana has been requested from a Ghanaian Human Rights organization, but a response has not arrived in time to meet your deadline. However, any information provided to the IRBDC will be immediately forwarded to you.

The most recent related information found among the available sources consist of the attached reports, which refer to a partial lifting on the "freeze" or ban on four religious groups. According to the attached reports, the ban was lifted for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and not for the Jehovah's Witnesses. This information was corroborated by the West Africa desk of the Department of State in a telephone communication with the IRBDC on 27 February 1991. Nevertheless, this source was unaware of the current situation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Dzorwulu. For previous information on the situation of religious sects in Ghana after the "freeze" or "ban" was imposed, please find attached a copy of the response to Information Request 2980 and its pertinent attachments. In addition to this information, the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 1989 (Washington: U.S. Department of State, 1990) states in page 142 that the Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons and two indigenous churches had their assets "frozen" by the government and were not allowed to apply for registration, while the foreign personnel of the two international organizations were expelled. Also attached, please find a 16 June 1989 report of the BBC Summary of World Broadcasts ("Government bans activities of four religious sects") which reports that the Church of Jesus Christ of Dzorwulu was one of the sects disbanded by the government, and that followers of the disbanded sects had been advised to refrain from activities which will breach public law and order.
