Incitement to hatred of people foreign to the
Jehovah's Witnesses as they follow humane
precepts of Jesus Christ. Attribute to them as
extremism is a mistake for several reasons.
1. More than 100-year history of the religion
proves the non-extremist nature of their
views. Jehovah's Witnesses have never taken up
arms. In Germany they are even at the cost of
freedom and life refusing to serve in the
Wehrmacht. In the Soviet Union, subjected to cruel
oppression, the Witnesses do not hate their
persecutors. Now Jehovah's Witnesses - a
multinational brotherhood, proven ability to
overcome the prejudices separating people.
2. Nowhere in the world except Russia, Jehovah's
Witnesses have not been accused of extremism. The
communities of this religion freely operate in more
than 200 countries around the world. They are all
united by one based on the Bible doctrine. Millions
of Jehovah's Witnesses are concerned about
unfounded accusations against their Russian co-
religionists.
3. The Russian experts in the field of human
rights condemned the application of the law on
extremism to the Jehovah's
Witnesses. Commissioner for Human Rights in the
Russian Federation in its report for 2013 , said:
"Ostroaktualnoy remains the problem of
imperfection so-called" anti-extremist
"legislation. Fuzzy wording itself of the basic
concept of "extremism" is becoming even more
blurred when adding a definition of
"religious". What is considered a "religious
extremism", can not yet solve even the scholars in
religious studies. But this "rubber" concept can
easily operate with other law enforcement and
judicial authorities in the field, investing in it's
own subjective attitude to a particular
denomination. "
4. The international community has condemned the
application of the law on extremism to the
Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia. "The Assembly urges
the Russian authorities ... to refrain from
applying the law on extremist activities against all
religious communities, especially Jehovah's
Witnesses" ( Resolution of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe number 1896
[2012], p. 25.31 ). The UN Human Rights
Committee has repeatedly expressed concern that
the Russian extremism law "is directed, in
particular, against the Jehovah's
Witnesses» ( CCPR / the C / SR.3157. Concluding
observations of the seventh periodic report of the
Russian Federation ).
Jehovah's Witnesses do see an explanation of what
is happening in the prophetic words of Jesus
Christ, who was executed on false charges of
sedition. He warned his disciples: "If they
persecuted me, they will persecute you" (John
15:20).
Jehovah's witnesses are law abiding people, they
don't fight, they love their brothers and sisters
all over the world, they believe because of their
love for Jehovah and their neighbors that is why
they enjoy the life saving work of preaching of
the good news to all sorts of people.
They respect the authorities, and follow the law of
the country but only when the law is taking what
belong to their God Jehovah and they are ready
to maintain their faith to the end.
