Activities of Russian Jehovah’s Witnesses suspended due to extremism
The religious organization “The Administrative Center of the Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia,” is now included in the list of public and religious associations whose activities have been suspended “in connection with the implementation of extremist activities.”
On March 15, Russia’s Justice Ministry filed a suit at the Supreme Court to have the Witnesses officially declared an extremist organization.
The final decision on whether to forbid the organization’s work in Russia will be made by the Supreme Court on April 5, and the group’s activities have been suspended by the Ministry of Justice from March 15 until that time.
