Jehovah Witnesses has vowed to
appeal a ban on its activities in Russia at the European Court of Human Rights
in Strasbourg.
The organisation said it had
exhausted all other legal channels.
Russia’s Supreme Court had
banned the church from the country after finding the group to be extremist
organization.
Before the verdict, four former
members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses had told a Russia’s Supreme Court how they
were brainwashed by the church against receiving higher education or starting a
family.
The Christian organization was
reacting a day after Russia’s Supreme Court rejected its appeal and upheld the
earlier ruling which declared the organisation “extremist” and ordered it to
disband in Russia.
“We plan to appeal this at the
European Court of Human Rights as soon as we can,” Yaroslav Sivulskiy, a member
of the European Association of Jehovah’s Christian Witnesses, said.
“All legal avenues inside Russia
have been exhausted.”
Sivulskiy said Jehovah Witnesses
strongly disagrees with the court’s ruling against it, but had no option but to
comply.
We comply as law abiding people. Jehovah will surely give UA victory against the Russian state and her allies the Orthodox Christians.
