What is stupid is that KOFTN and KOFTS doesn't know who Jehovah is. They will know at the end.

Yes.. They don't know. They are like the king of Egypt in Moses back then saying "Who is Jehovah?" so they are confident to do harm on Jehovah's people.. 

Im glad that Armenia has released its jw prisoners already after 7 years.

They dont know who they're messing with.  Jehovah will sustain my dear brother and his family as they give a grand witness by their integrity.  Our King is at hand to reap a terrible vengence on those that persecute his people.  In the meantime we all have the grand privilege of showing the world nothing will stop  us from speaking about our beautiful God and his purpose.

The link to the document of complaint by the United Nations made interesting reading about how false the accusations against our brother were  and how the United Nations could not get good enough information to back the claims the Russian Police gave for the arrest and imprisonment.

That breaking news item now has its own article...

 

Russian Court Sentences Brother Alushkin to Six Years in Prison, Five Others Placed on Probation

The article reminded us that the UN's Working Group had said Russia should release him.

 

Quote

In August 2019, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) issued a 12-page opinion that denounced Russia for arresting and detaining Brother Alushkin...

 

Brother Alushkin “should not have been arrested and held in pretrial detention, and no trial of Mr. Alushkin should take place.”

But I thought the court's response was rather contradictory for Russia:

However, when reading the December 13 verdict, the judge stated that the court deemed Russia’s 2017 Supreme Court ruling—which effectively banned the worship of Jehovah’s Witnesses—takes precedence over the WGAD’s opinion.

How ridiculous is that? They ban Jehovah's Witnesses as extremist because we allegedly think our religion is superior to others. But they just declared that the court's opinion is superior to the WGAD's! By their own reasoning they condemn themselves as extremists.
