| Members of the Jehovah's Witnesses Administration centre legal team awaiting the Judgement |
Russia has decided to go ahead with the Ministry of justice's motion to ban Jehovah's Witnesses after the Supreme Court ruled the Christian Organization to be an "extremist" group.
“The Supreme Court has ruled to sustain the claim of Russia's ministry of justice and deem the 'Administrative Centre of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia' organisation extremist, eliminate it and ban its activity in Russia,” said judge Yuri Ivanenko. “The property of the Jehovah's Witnesses organisation is to be confiscated to the state revenue."
A lawyer for the justice ministry, Svetlana Borisova, told the court the followers of this religion “pose a threat to the rights of the citizens, public order and public security". Judges ordered the closure of the group's Russian headquarters and 395 local chapters, as well as the seizure of its property.
Social networks have been abuzz with an outcry from all over the world about this decision. Some say it poses a threat to freedom of religion, not just to Russians but all Christians worldwide. Some say it is sad that the Court chose to overlook evidence presented before it of falsified "evidence" by police to the premises of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Ministry of Justice has failed to prove how are Jehovah's Witnesses a re a threat to society and where in their publications are they promoting extremism. Some feel that Lady Justice has failed the minority groups in Russia. Some say this may have some political influence, but time will tell.
Lawyers for the Jehovah's Witnesses said they would appeal the court's decision, which has not yet come into effect, and could take the case to the European Court of Human Rights. The world is watching!
Bible Prophecy....

ReplyDeleteSad the truth will set us all free, Jehovah is in control let's all keep praying,to is being prosecuted.
ReplyDeleteAt Matthew 24:9 Jesus said of his followers : “...and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.” Earlier, Jesus stated at Matthew 10:22,” And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.” Cowardly, foolish Satan, his demons, and their human agents are fighting down Jehovah’s people. In the long run, Jehovah’s Witnesses will be victorious and Satan and all his supporters will be losers as Romans 16:20, Revelation 20:10, 15 and Psalm 37:9, 10 assure us.
ReplyDeleteThis is so true ,wake up world and read your Bible ,the nations are doing to us just what they did to Jesus .We are being hated by all kinds of people on account of Gods Name ,and Jehovah will in his due time take care of all the people that hates us .

ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are for those affected in Russia. For those who have experienced this before and especially for the new ones who have come to love Jehovah and his son Jesus. May Jehovah help them stay steadfast and unmovable. In the end Jehovah's name will be vidicated and his kingdom will come and prevail. We love you, our Russian brothers and sisters!
