Legal Developments: Statement on Criminal Trial of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Taganrog, Russia (4x201)

Data de estreia: Out 30, 2015

Since 2011, authorities have subjected 16 Witnesses to criminal prosecution for practicing their faith. Do the facts support the charge of extremist activity? The criminal case against Jehovah’s Witnesses in Taganrog is part of a growing pattern of religious opposition in Russia. The trial judge will soon pronounce his verdict. Will Russia imprison its own citizens merely for peacefully practicing their faith? This video statement by Mr. Gajus Glockentin, spokesman for the European Association of Jehovah’s Witnesses, urges respect for justice and religious freedom.
