Experts of the Federal Security Service of Sverdlovsk Region have carried out five examinations of literature of the religious organization “Jehovah's Witnesses” and as a result claimed it extremist.
Earlier a criminal case was initiated concerning the distribution of editions of “Jehovah's Witnesses” according to the article of “rousing hatred or hostility, as well as humiliation of human dignity”. The organization’s offices in Yekaterinburg and Asbest were searched and religious literature was confiscated.
The case does not include any persons involved, since it is very difficult to prove that the distributors of the editions knew about their illegal contents. So if the court recognizes this literature as extremist, it will be possible only to ban its dissemination.
