RUSSIA: Criminal investigations of 69 Jehovah's Witnesses - list
By Victoria Arnold, Forum 18


Full list of 69 Jehovah's Witnesses charged or named as suspects or currently on trial for "extremism"-related offences as of 13
September 2018. Of these, 25 are in detention, 9 under house arrest and 30 under travel restrictions. Four are thought not to be
under restrictions.
Since January 2018, law enforcement agencies have been raiding Jehovah's Witness homes across Russia, often involving armed riot
police or National Guard troops. These raids are usually led by the Investigative Committee, but the FSB security service and
anti-extremism police have also participated.
Consequently, 69 Jehovah's Witnesses - listed below - are under criminal investigation or on trial as of 13 September 2018 (see
F18News 13 September 2018 <http://www.forum18.org/archive.php?article_id=2412>).
Of these, 65 are under investigation as a direct result of the Supreme Court's 20 April 2017 decision (upheld on 17 July 2017) to
outlaw the Jehovah's Witness Administrative Centre and its subdivisions as "extremist" and ban all their activities nationwide.
A further four Jehovah's Witnesses were charged with extremism-related offences before the ban came into force. Three of these are
already on trial; it is unknown when the fourth will appear in court.
Restrictive measures
After extensive searches of their properties and confiscation of personal belongings, Jehovah's Witnesses are usually taken to a
police station or FSB or Investigative Committee office for questioning. Interrogations can last many hours, and sometimes continue
through the night. Officers may then release them or hold them at a temporary detention centre for 48 hours. After 48 hours,
individuals may be released under travel restrictions or investigators request a court to approve longer-term restrictive measures -
house arrest or pre-trial detention.
Travel restrictions may be applied indefinitely, but investigators must renew them every two weeks - when summoned, a suspect or
accused person must attend the relevant law enforcement agency to sign another undertaking not to leave the town or district.
A judge may place an individual under house arrest for an initial period of two months, towards the end of which investigators must
go back to court to seek an extension. Under house arrest, a person may not leave his or her home (unless under special dispensation
to go to hospital or, in some cases, to work), receive visitors, send or receive post, use the telephone, or use the internet.
A judge may place an individual in pre-trial detention also for an initial period of two months, towards the end of which
investigators must go back to court to seek an extension.
Individuals may appeal to a higher court to have these restrictive measures lifted or reduced. A new law signed by President
Vladimir Putin on 3 July stipulates that one day in pre-trial detention now counts as one and half days in a correctional colony after
sentencing (this will be applied retroactively). Previously, custodial sentences were reduced by exactly the length of time a person
had served in pre-trial custody.
Investigators have opened criminal cases against these Jehovah's Witnesses under Article 282.2, Part 1 ("Organisation of the
activities of a banned extremist organisation") or Part 2 ("Participation in the activities of a banned extremist organisation"), and in a
few instances under Article 282.3, Part 1 ("Financing of extremist activity"). If convicted, they could receive lengthy prison
sentences or heavy fines. It is unknown when any of their cases will come to court.
Figures
A total of 69 Jehovah's Witnesses have been charged or named as suspects or are currently on trial for extremism-related offences as
of 13 September 2018. The majority of these people - 16 women, 49 men - are under investigation for "continuing the activities" of

the banned Jehovah's Witness Administrative Centre and its local communities.
As of 13 September 2018, 25 people are in detention (24 men, 1 woman), nine people are under house arrest (all men), and 30
people (13 women, 17 men) are under travel restrictions. One woman has been placed under specific restrictive conditions. Only
four people (one woman, three men) are currently thought to be under no restrictions as the cases against them proceed.

RUSSIA: Criminal investigations of 69 Jehovah's Witnesses - list By Victoria Arnold, Forum 18 Full list of 69 Jehovah's Witnesses charged or named as suspects or currently on trial for "extremis

RoC = Republic of China?

777 Crew = an airline flight?

I've explained the 777 crew to you before, an independent Russian outlet media that has not been stomped out by the State Duma's censoring of the internet and media, the same goes for Free Radio Europe who also operate in Russia, as is a list of others. Those who have not been stamped out get the worse kind of punishment so they can be silenced while Kremlin controlled media hides the truth. This is why whenever something outside the US takes place, best to go to the actual area itself by looking things up in their language.

 

RoC stands for The Russian Orthodox Church and as of recent days now they ramped up. Cyrill should not be underestimated, mainly if you live in Russia, perhaps he will swing a golden cross and his luxurious chain into the face of a Non-Orthodoxy, it didn't stop his followers from kicking people out of their homes by force, although didn't use such items, they had, as they say in slang, "gangsta-type" way of removing someone from their home if not the FSB or the police. I had a video of this somewhere and it is not pretty how they evicted a woman from her home.

Space Merchant:

Generally RoC refers to the Republic of China, also called "The Chicoms".. If it was me, I would have probably written out Russian Orthodox Church, then the initials (ROC) in parenthesis, then ROC thereafter.

Perhaps sometime in the past you did tell me about 777, but I do not remember it.

@James Thomas Rook Jr. True, but whenever anyone speaks of Russia ROC would be obvious, as of recently, they have been growing and growing in power since they are technically shielded by the Kremlin.

But yes, the 777 Crew most likely will be on this because they themselves are not a fan of corruption in Russia, as is others like them. But I mentioned them before.

Anyways I am giving it a few days until they and their connections get more information on this story, for they watch everything even JWs in Russia from the Soviet Era home defenders.

But it is crazy now because of one's faith now they can be harassed and targeted. These JWs are likely they don't live in Chechnya because if they did, they'll be dealing with this guy, Ramzan Kadyrov and or his people.

220px-Ramzan_Kadyrov_(2018-06-15)_02.jpg

Remember the story of Enoch when it says "He was no more"? That could happen to any JW if they lived in that area, for such has already been done to some people there against their will, perhaps looking at them the wrong way will win you that one way ticket to the camps.

    • It appears to me that this is a key aspect of the 2030 initiative ideology. While the Rothschilds were indeed influential individuals who were able to sway governments, much like present-day billionaires, the true impetus for change stems from the omnipotent forces (Satan) shaping our world. In this case, there is a false God of this world. However, what drives action within a political framework? Power! What is unfolding before our eyes in today's world? The relentless struggle for power. The overwhelming tide of people rising. We cannot underestimate the direct and sinister influence of Satan in all of this. However, it is up to individuals to decide how they choose to worship God. Satanism, as a form of religion, cannot be regarded as a true religion. Consequently, just as ancient practices of child sacrifice had a place in God's world, such sacrifices would never be accepted by the True God of our universe. Despite the promising 2030 initiative for those involved, it is unfortunately disintegrating due to the actions of certain individuals in positions of authority. A recent incident serves as a glaring example, involving a conflict between peaceful Muslims and a Jewish representative that unfolded just this week. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/11/us-delegation-saudi-arabia-kippah?ref=upstract.com Saudi Arabia was among the countries that agreed to the initiative signed by approximately 179 nations in or around 1994. However, this initiative is now being undermined by the devil himself, who is sowing discord among the delegates due to the ongoing Jewish-Hamas (Palestine) conflict. Fostering antisemitism. What kind of sacrifice does Satan accept with the death of babies and children in places like Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflicts around the world, whether in the past or present, that God wouldn't? Whatever personal experiences we may have had with well-known individuals, true Christians understand that current events were foretold long ago, and nothing can prevent them from unfolding. What we are witnessing is the result of Satan's wrath upon humanity, as was predicted. A true religion will not involve itself in the politics of this world, as it is aware of the many detrimental factors associated with such engagement. It understands the true intentions of Satan for this world and wisely chooses to stay unaffected by them.
    • This idea that Satan can put Jews in power implies that God doesn't want Jews in power. But that would also imply that God only wants "Christians" including Hitler, Biden, Pol Pot, Chiang Kai-Shek, etc. 
    • @Mic Drop, I don't buy it. I watched the movie. It has all the hallmarks of the anti-semitic tropes that began to rise precipitously on social media during the last few years - pre-current-Gaza-war. And it has similarities to the same anti-semitic tropes that began to rise in Europe in the 900's to 1100's. It was back in the 500s AD/CE that many Khazars failed to take or keep land they fought for around what's now Ukraine and southern Russia. Khazars with a view to regaining power were still being driven out into the 900's. And therefore they migrated to what's now called Eastern Europe. It's also true that many of their groups converted to Judaism after settling in Eastern Europe. It's possibly also true that they could be hired as mercenaries even after their own designs on empire had dwindled.  But I think the film takes advantage of the fact that so few historical records have ever been considered reliable by the West when it comes to these regions. So it's easy to fill the vacuum with some very old antisemitic claims, fables, rumors, etc..  The mention of Eisenhower in the movie was kind of a giveaway, too. It's like, Oh NO! The United States had a Jew in power once. How on earth could THAT have happened? Could it be . . . SATAN??" Trying to tie a connection back to Babylonian Child Sacrifice Black Magick, Secret Satanism, and Baal worship has long been a trope for those who need to think that no Jews like the Rothschilds and Eisenhowers (????) etc would not have been able to get into power in otherwise "Christian" nations without help from Satan.    Does child sacrifice actually work to gain power?? Does drinking blood? Does pedophilia??? (also mentioned in the movie) Yes, it's an evil world and many people have evil ideologies based on greed and lust and ego. But how exactly does child sacrifice or pedophilia or drinking blood produce a more powerful nation or cabal of some kind? To me that's a giveaway that the authors know that the appeal will be to people who don't really care about actual historical evidence. Also, the author(s) of the video proved that they have not done much homework, but are just trying to fill that supposed knowledge gap by grasping at old paranoid and prejudicial premises. (BTW, my mother and grandmother, in 1941 and 1942, sat next to Dwight Eisenhower's mother at an assembly of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Eisenhower family had been involved in a couple of "Christian" religions and a couple of them associated with IBSA and JWs for many years.)
