The Arkhangelsk Regional Court refused to satisfy the claim prosecutor's office on the recognition of extremist and liquidation of the local religious organizations of Jehovah's Witnesses.
On June 3, 2016, the Arkhangelsk Regional Court refused the regional prosecutor's office, which demanded the liquidation of the local religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses as extremist.
During the trial, in particular, a fingerprint examination was carried out, which showed the absence of fingerprints fingers of the chairman of the organization Alexander Parygin on the package with included in the Federal List of Extremist Materials by publications. Package, found in his car, according to A. Parygin, was planted on him. Discovered in the car, a pack of extremist literature was one of the episodes in which an accusation was made.
Earlier, A. Parygin was fined for distributing banned literature, and in October 2015 he himself submitted an application to the Ministry of Justice for the liquidation of his organization.
As a reminder, we regard the persecution of the Witnesses Jehovah and the banning of their texts under the pretext of fighting extremism as a religious discrimination. Sources
