MOSCOW, November 18 (RAPSI) – On Tuesday, The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights has confirmed that the Russian authorities violated the rights of a group of Moscow Jehovah’s Witnesses in 2006, according to the court’s records.

 

ECHR ruled that the aplicants’ rights were violated under Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights (right to liberty and security), deeming their detention coercive. In addition, the court deemed the applicants’ rights were violated under Article 9 (freedom of thought, conscience, and religion), as there was no cause other than harassment, for an intrusive police operation at the Jehovah’s Witnesses service.

 

 

I sure hope this means things will go better for our brothers and sisters in Russia.

Let's pray that our brothers and sisters stay strong in faith and rely upon Jehovah.  Most of us in the US have not had this experience of the government trying their best to silence us.  But Jehovah promised that along with the temptation he will make a way our in order for us to endure it.   When things get bad it is easy to forget that, but Jehovah always makes a way.  1 Corinthians 10:13
