Despite the persistent attempts of the prosecutor's office to find two peaceful believers to be "extremists," the court again issued a verdict of acquittal with the right of rehabilitation.
 
On 21 June 2017 the Sergiev-Posad city court published the verdict that acquitted Viacheslav Stepanov and Andrei Sivaka, Jehovah's Witnesses from Sergiev Posad (Moscow province), who over the course of four years have been subjected to unfair criminal prosecution. Earlier, on 4 March 2016, the court found these believers innocent, but on the basis of the demand of the prosecutor's office the criminal case was considered a second time by a different judge. Wishing to justify the years-long illegal prosecution of the believers, the prosecutor's office again appealed the second verdict of acquittal.
 
Jehovah's Witnesses are far from any manifestation of extremism and they consider prosecution of believers on fictitious charges to be repression.
