Translation of JW-russia.org:

"The large beautiful courtroom is crowded. There are more than 200 people, including numerous journalists, representatives of public organizations, foreign embassies. The hearing began at 10:30.

A little less than 250 people remained on the street to wait for the results of the hearing. Povarskaya Street in Moscow is filled with cars with TV transmitting antennas. Many cameras are taking off. From the police radios, the messages "Everything is calm, without incident" are periodically heard. In the hall, representatives of embassies and foreign organizations in the headphones listen to the translation of the process.

The case is heard by Judge Yu. Ivanenko. The party of the defendant, the "Administrative Center of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia", represents 6 people, including Vasily Kalina from the steering committee, as well as lawyers.Representative of the Ministry of Justice of Russia - Svetlana Borisova. The defendant's objections to the case are added together with the annexes in 35 volumes.

The court allowed photography and video recording only when the final act was announced. However, for audio recording there are no obstacles. About 40 media representatives are present in the hall, they occupy the first rows in the hall."

It doesn't seem to be going well so far. Lets see how things will develope. 

MORE UPDATES: 

 

Lawyer Omelchenko gives an example: "According to the logic of the Ministry of Justice, it turns out, we must pass a sentence: Shoot the ataman. And his whole platoon. "
11:25	The court refused to involve 395 local organizations in the case as co-defendants.
11:30	Jehovah's Witnesses asked the court to authorize the audiotransmission of the court session. The court refused.
11:35	Lawyers for Jehovah's Witnesses ask the court to postpone the hearing until a decision is made in another case in another court. It is about appealing in court the orders of the Ministry of Justice on the suspension of the activities of organizations .
11:42	The Ministry of Justice objects because it believes that the agency had every right to suspend the activities of the organizations.
11:45	The court refused to adjourn the hearing.

More update:

 

11:50am Lawyer Omelchenko petitioned to leave the suit of the Ministry of Justice without consideration. The plaintiff did not observe the pre-trial order of settlement of claims to 395 communities of Jehovah's Witnesses. Before issuing a claim for the liquidation of 395 local religious organizations of Jehovah's Witnesses, the state bodies, according to the law, had to issue official warnings to each of them and provide time for their correction.

Interesting quote:

“From what I’ve noticed, the top of the court, the deputy general prosecutor, is actually indifferent to all this,” Mr Omelchenko said. “It’s the prosecutors who are really going for it.”
