The court rejected the request of Jehovah's Witnesses to annul the warning of the Prosecutor General's Office

On October 12, 2016, the Tverskoy District Court of Moscow rejected Jehovah's Witnesses' request to declare illegal the warning about the inadmissibility of extremist activities issued by the Deputy Prosecutor General of Russia to their Administrative Center. The court announced the decision at 1:10 p.m.

Jehovah's Witnesses consider this decision of the court to be erroneous. They strongly object to labelling them "extremists", emphasizing that extremism is deeply alien to their biblically based views and morals.
