COMMENTS BY THE ATTORNEYS OF THE ORGANIZATION AT THE TRIAL IN RUSSIA.
Information not published.

"The book Benefited from Theocratic Ministry School (banned for being extremist), is designed to improve the ability to speak.We do not know on what basis it was declared extremist.The court did not allow Jehovah's Witnesses to participate in the case. We were given the opportunity to review the materials of the case and were not even invited to participate in the trial. "If all cases are considered in this way, Russia will be left without any book." - Attorney for Jehovah's Witnesses, Victor Zhenkov

"How can you incite hatred? We do not look at anyone on their wrong path Some experts have indicated that Jehovah's Witness publications claim to have the only true religion, Jehovah's Witnesses incite hatred and enmity. "- Attorney for Jehovah's Witnesses, Victor Zhenkov

"It is not Jehovah's Witnesses who violate the law. It is the sowing of evidence fabricated by the authorities that violates the law. "- Member of the Committee of the Administrative Center of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, Sergey Cherepanov

"The attorney general, who has rehabilitated believers in the 1990s, has been collecting information about Jehovah's Witnesses and information about their property. This is checked by the volumes of the documents presented together with the request for liquidation. This shows that the Attorney General has been coordinating a national campaign to gather information on Jehovah's Witnesses. The same happened in the 1950s when our brothers in the faith were exiled to Siberia. "- Member of the Committee of the Administrative Center of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, Sergey Cherepanov

"If the court returns to the path offered by the Ministry of Justice to liquidate the administrative center and all the LROS (local religious organizations), we will return to the dark past. I like what an official said, "'You can liquidate a legal entity, but never someone's faith.' - member of the Administrative Center Committee of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia and a victim of Soviet repression, Vasiliy Kalin

"In Soviet times we were faced with the charge of being an 'enemy of the State'; We are now being accused of 'extremism'. I want to remind the Ministry of Justice that your petition to ban Jehovah's Witnesses would harm the very people who wish you a quiet, happy life. "- Committee member of the Administrative Center for Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia and victim of repression of  Was a Soviet,  Vasiliy Kalin.
