“On April 30, 2026, the Supreme Court of Norway announced a significant decision in favor of Jehovah’s Witnesses. … the Court also found that the government’s denial of State grants to Jehovah’s Witnesses was illegal.”

Gives the organisation's timeline (deregistration 2022; Oslo District Court March 2024 against; Borgarting Court of Appeal March 2025 for; Supreme Court 30 April 2026 for) and cites 'more than 12,000' Witnesses in Norway. Does not mention the 3-2 split or grant amounts.
