Russian security services have launched a series of raids against the homes and meeting places of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the country’s far-eastern Siberian region, detaining several devotees.
The Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia organization said five worshippers were detained, two of which remain in pre-trial detention. Religious materials including Bibles were also seized during the searches, the group said. Jarrod Lopes, a spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses, told Newsweek, “Since last April, there hasn’t been a month without a raid—usually several each month. Just this year there have been over 100 home raids in nearly 20 regions in Russia and Crimea. As any reasonable person would imagine, it’s definitely not easy for our fellow believers in Russia to live each day not knowing what tomorrow will bring.
In America too, the group has faced battles. Followers who evaded the military draft during both world wars were jailed, and in 1940 the Supreme Court ruled that Jehovah’s Witnesses in schools who refused to salute the American flag could be expelled.
Russians don’t like Jews or Witnesses but they like Trump
Russia is a Communist country. Barbaric.
