German Commissioner for Global Freedom of Religion Voices Concern Over Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia

[Guest Indiana]

On May 24, 2019, Markus Grübel, the German Commissioner for Global Freedom of Religion, spoke in connection with the fact that the Russian appellate court upheld the sentence of Dennis Christensen. “I regret the decision of the court that rejected the appeal in the case of Christensen,” said Markus Grübel. “I am concerned about the situation of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia. Freedom of religion and ideology is an important human right. Every state should respect it. Religious freedom is indivisible and is valid for all religious communities.”

... one step closer for Vladimir Putin to reverse the current Russian persecution by 2020.

.... If there is anything the Russians have learned .... you don't want the Germans to get ticked off at you!

Freedom of religion/speech should be a basic human right in every country.

It is a disgrace to force ANY religion upon anyone and to squelch what other people may believe to be their truth.

Good on the German Commissioner for taking a stand!
