For Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia, practicing their faith means risking their freedom.
Law enforcement authorities across Russia have dramatically escalated a nationwide persecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the past 12 months. At least 313 people are facing charges, are on trial, or have been convicted of criminal “extremism” for engaging in Jehovah’s Witnesses’ activities, or are suspects in such cases.
The raids and arrests stem from a 2017 Supreme Court ruling banning all Jehovah’s Witnesses organizations in Russia and declaring its head office an "extremist organization."
