The Russian Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Rostov Regional Court to liquidate the Jehovah's Witnesses organization in Taganrog
On December 8, 2009, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation considered the case of a local religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses in Taganrog, Rostov Region, and upheld the decision of the Rostov Regional Court to liquidate the organization.
Representatives of the Jehovah's Witnesses do not exclude the possibility of further challenging the decision of the Russian courts in the European Court of Human Rights.
It should be reminded that over the past year the prosecutor's offices of several regions have been asked to recognize the literature of Jehovah's Witnesses as extremist materials. In addition, the organization had problems with the customs authorities.
