Russia To Ban Jehovah's Witnesses And Consider Them Extremist!!! toomorrow by atoleybaba(m): 7:04pm On Apr 04, 2017 |
Tomorrow would be a significant day and also mark a dark day for Russia and it citizens who are witnesses has the supreme court is most likely to rule them as extremist Vasiliy Kalin, a representative of the Administrative Center in Russia, stated: “The profound desire of each of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia is just to be able to worship our God peacefully. For over 100 years, the authorities in Russia have trampled on the guarantees of their own laws, which grant us this right. I was just a boy when Stalin exiled my family to Siberia merely because we were Jehovah’s Witnesses. It is sad and reprehensible that my children and grandchildren should be facing a similar fate. Never did I expect that we would again face the threat of religious persecution in modern Russia.” Many experts and u.s legislature has opposed the Russian decision on labelling the religious group extremist On April 5, 2017, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation is expected to rule on whether to liquidate and ban the activity of all legal entities used by Jehovah’s Witnesses throughout Russia. A ruling against the Witnesses would criminalize their worship. Several human rights experts from Russia and abroad comment on the unjust actions of Russian authorities and how a ban on Jehovah’s Witnesses would affect not only the Witnesses but also Russia’s international reputation and religious freedom for its citizens. Heiner Bielefeldt : “If Jehovah’s Witnesses are extremist, I think we all are” Former UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief Dr. Massimo Introvigne : “The only relationship between Jehovah’s Witnesses and violence is that they have been victims of violence” Sociologist and Former Representative of the OSCE on Combating Racism, Xenophobia, Discrimination Annika Hvithamar : ‘If Jehovah’s Witnesses are extremist, then most versions of Christianity could be accused of the same thing’ Associate Professor/Head of Studies, Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies, University of Copenhagen.
