Case of Sorokina and Troshina in Sychevka
A 44-year-old nurse, Nataliya Sorokina, and her 42-year-old friend, Mariya Troshina, believe in Jehovah God. They followed the biblical command to gather with fellow believers in the Smolensk region in order better to learn how to be genuine Christians. For this they face up to ten years in prison. Security officials accuse the women of “religious hatred” without giving a single argument. Blaming them for organizing the activities of the banned organization, they at the same time call Jehovah's Witnesses Christians and cynically mention that “the state guarantees the equal rights and freedoms of man and citizen regardless of their attitude to religion.”
