The Jehovah's Witnesses religious group is continuing to instruct its followers to forbid blood transfusions for their children in violation of health ministry guidelines on preventing harm to children, according to a lawyers' report that was set to be submitted to the government Monday.
"This is a serious problem involving kids' lives," one of the lawyers told reporters.
The Jehovah's Witnesses organization, which refers to itself as Christian, is headquartered in the United States and is known for its members refusing transfusions for themselves and their offspring based on religious reasons.
