Announcement: On July 17, 2017, the Russian Supreme Court may overturn the decision against Jehovah's Witnesses

On Monday, July 17, 2017, a hearing will be held on the appeal of the "Administrative Center of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia" against the decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of April 20, 2017. This decision affected all 175,000 followers of this religion in Russia, as all their 396 registered organizations in Russia were liquidated with a single stroke of the pen, and their activities were banned. In addition, the court ordered the confiscation of the property of all these religious organizations. As a result, in addition to the complaint from the Administrative Center, a total of hundreds of appeals were filed against this decision from the remaining 395 liquidated local religious organizations of Jehovah's Witnesses and from hundreds of individuals whose rights were directly affected by the court decision.

The hearing will begin at 11:00 a.m.
