Il seguente rapporto è stato presentato il 14/10/2015 ed è riferito al 2014, è molto dettagliato e presenta la situazione in Moldova dove, sebbene non esista una religione di Stato, la Chiesa Ortodossa Moldava continua ad avere un trattamento preferenziale a discapito di altre minoranze religiose tra cui i Testimoni di Geova.
Tra le altre cose si afferma:
"The law, however, recognizes the “exceptional importance” of Orthodox Christianity and the government continued to provide preferential treatment to the Moldovan Orthodox Church (MOC)...Minority religious groups, including Jehovah’s Witnesses, Baptists, and Pentecostals, reported cases of verbal abuse and media discrimination.
Jehovah’s Witnesses reported local public officials were pressured by Orthodox priests to continue to discriminate against them, and they faced difficulties obtaining permits to build or use their houses of worship. In Mereni village, on June 30, and again on July 19, the mayor refused to issue a permit allowing the Jehovah’s Witness community to use its completed kingdom hall following a final court ruling mandating the government to grant a construction permit. The local Jehovah’s Witnesses community reported the mayor met with them and stated he would not issue the permit due to fear of upsetting the local Orthodox priest, Vitalie Saramet, and local residents. Saramet threatened to demolish the kingdom hall and reportedly ended all religious services with calls for the villagers to oppose the spread of the Jehovah’s Witness faith and to obstruct meetings of the Jehovah’s Witnesses community. The Jehovah’s Witnesses said the priest instigated hatred and violence against the community. In July two villagers living in the vicinity of the kingdom hall filed a court case requesting permission to demolish the building; as of the end of the year the case was pending. The Jehovah’s Witnesses community reported it filed a complaint on October 17, in the Anenii Noi City Court to gain the mayor’s signature on the occupancy permit. A hearing on the case was postponed until 2015."
