Jehovah's Witness sentenced to 6 years in Russian prison for 'religious extremism'.
A JEHOVAH’S WITNESS has been sentenced to six years in prison in Russia for religious extremism following a campaign targeted at the community in recent years. Danish native Dennis Christensen was arrested in 2017 by Federal Security agents at a meeting of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Oryol, south of Moscow. This was Russia’s first arrest of a Jehovah’s Witness for religious extremism. According to a statement by a Russian wing of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christensen’s lawyers will be appealing the decision. Meanwhile, he will remain in a detention facility in the Oryol region, where he has already spent 622 days. The group, along with members of the international community, have called for his release, saying the arrest is unconstitutional. Human Rights Watch (HRW) called the verdict “a disgrace”. In a statement, the European Union External Action service its diplomatic service said that: The European Union expects Mr Christensen to be released immediately and unconditionally. Jehovah’s Witnesses, as with all other religious groups, must be able to peacefully enjoy the freedom of assembly without interference, as guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, as well as by Russia’s international commitments and international human rights standards. Andrea Kalan, of the US Embassy in Moscow, said on Twitter that she is “deeply concerned” by the sentence.
Andrea Kalan@USEmbRuPressDeeply concerned by the six-year sentence imposed on Jehovah’s Witness Dennis Christensen. We agree with President Putin that persecuting peaceful believers is utter nonsense, and call on Russia to respect freedom of religion. #ReligiousFreedom

In June 2018, authorities held 18 men in pretrial detention for extremist activity, while a number of others were under house arrest. The same group said Russian authorities have carried out dozens of home raids, searches and interrogations in recent years. Since 2007, many items of Jehovah’s Witness literature have been banned as being “extremist materials”.In 2010, the European Court of Human Rights found the dissolution of the Moscow branch, and the refusal to allow the group to re-register constituted a number of violations of the Convention. In 2017, Russia’s Supreme Court banned the organisation outright.“The Jehovah’s Witness faith is not an extremist organization, and authorities should stop this religious persecution of its worshipers now,” said Rachel Denber, deputy Europe and Central Asia director at Human Rights Watch.
