Planting forbidden literature on Jehovah's Witnesses widespread

AN ORDINARY RAID
ReligioPolis, 31 July 2016
 
According to a report of the press service of the Administrative Center of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, in the evening of 28 July, during worship services, personnel of the power structures of the Russian federation organized an attack on religious organizations.
 
The brutal violent action against believers was conducted in two cities of the republic of Karelia, Petrozavodsk and Kostomuksha. Specifically, in Petrozavodsk, during a service, personnel of special forces armed with automatic weapons—including  FSB agents and a group of OMON—burst into the premises of Jehovah's Witnesses.
 
"Telephones and other electronic equipment were seized from the congregation," the press service reports. "Several of the believers were thrown roughly to the floor, pinned by knees, and kicked. Believers were questioned and documents were checked. The final detainee was released well after midnight. Several published materials that are included in the Federal List of Extremist Materials were planted."
 
Personnel that arrived at the house of worship in Kostomuksha planted two copies of printed materials included in the Federal List of Extremist Materials, as well as something unusual—the original of the passport of a man who had not attended Jehovah's Witnesses' services, but whose relatives had been known to speak out previously against the religion of the Jehovah's Witnesses. The reason for planting this document is unknown.
 
According to the testimony of the religious organization, planting forbidden literature has become "a widespread practice of malevolent personnel of law enforcement agencies. The 'discovered' materials serve as grounds for opening administrative cases with the aim of subsequent liquidation of a registered congregation and of ruling it to be 'extremist.'"

ReligioPolis, 4 August 2016
 
As was already reported earlier, on Thursday, 28 July, armed OMON and FSB personnel conducted a raid on a religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses during a worship service. According to a report from the press service of the Administrative Center of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, the siloviki [security forces] conducted "interrogations," throwing believers onto the floor, pinning people with knees and kicking them with feet, having previously taken their mobile phones from them.
 
According to testimony of believers, the raiders planted on the premises brochures that are included in the Federal List of Extremist Materials. This was reported by Jehovah's Witnesses from Kostomuksha.
 
In the course of six days, there have been no official reports of what happened from either the press, authorities, or special services. Only on 3 August 2016 did there appear on the webpage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the republic of Karelia a brief report to the effect that several days back in Petrozavodsk, as the result of a search activity operation, documents and 12 brochures from among those listed in the Federal List of Extremist Materials had been seized from the local religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses.
 
According to the report on the website, at the present time law enforcement agencies are conducting an investigation of an incident of discovery of forbidden literature.
