CAMPAIGN IN RUSSIA TO EXPELL FROM THE COUNTRY ALL JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES

The Russian president, mr. Putin said clearly that he only forbade the Watchtower organization, but that he had nothing against the PERSONAL faith of every Jehovah's Witness. The reality is proving that this man is a REDOMED HYPOCRITE.
Reportedly, the search for Jehovah's Witnesses by local authorities is forcing people to move to Finland and other European countries.

Religious persecution forces Jehovah's Witnesses to leave Russia.

Following the banning of the religious group by the Supreme Court of Russia, The Barents Observer reports that the members are being persecuted by the Russian security agency and the Russian National Guard.

On Friday, April 20, 2018, two Jehovah's Witnesses were arrested in a Russian city called Polyarny. They were arrested after raids in at least six places, according to the newspaper of the regional authorities, Murmanski Vestnik.
Incursions like this, followed by other forms of persecution, are forcing the members of the religious group to leave the country.

They started fleeing Russia in 2017. There are now around 1,000 Russians in Finland and other European countries.

According to Veikko Leininen, spokesperson for the section of Jehovah's Witnesses in Finland, "at least many dozens are coming".
Religious persecution in Russia

On April 20, 2017, the Russian Supreme Court banned Jehovah's Witnesses and officially branded them as an extremist organization.

The ruling also established that any Russian who discovered himself as a member would be imprisoned for six to ten years. A year has passed since the court's decision and things have gone from bad to terrible.

According to reports, 17 properties have been confiscated, while there are ongoing lawsuits to seize 52 other properties.

Jaroslav Sivulsky, representative of the European Association of Jehovah's Witnesses, says: "After the decision of the Supreme Court, there was an increase in religious intolerance in the country between March 15, 2017 and April 1, 2018 , the "European Association of Jehovah's Witnesses" received information, and it is far from complete, approximately 250 violations of the rights of believers, including attacks, vandalism, various types of discrimination, dismissals and I like it.

"... We know of 27 cases of vandalism, in most cases insulting insults, damage to the buildings where believers live or where divine services were previously celebrated, in 7 cases, significant damage was caused. 13 citizens reported that after the decision of the Supreme Court they were dismissed or forced to resign by their own will because of their religious beliefs. "

With this level of persecution, who can blame Jehovah's Witnesses for leaving Russia?
