Leningrad Oblast Court began the wrong Bible extremism process

Leningrad Regional Court on 6 December began to consider the merits of the appeal of the four foreign organizations of Jehovah's witnesses in the "Scripture" publication. The Translation of the new world " (2015), a brochure entitled " the Bible and its main theme ", " Bible science in place?" and " how to improve health, 5 simple rules " by materials Extremists. The decision to ban them was taken by the city court of vyborg on 17 August 2017, the owl centre reported in the office received by kasparov. Ru.

The Literature was withdrawn by customs. The site of Jehovah's witnesses gave a detailed account of the process. The Complainant s' representatives drew the court's attention to the violation of legal rules in the appointment and conduct of the investigation and the replacement of the investigation. The judges were able to make sure that the experts examined an English book called "the translation of the new world of Christian Greek scriptures". in the examination there are extensive loans from the student s' course of one of the orthodox seminars dedicated to this Edit. The Representative of the Jehovah's witness society of Finland drew attention to the fact that

In The Court's decision there is no single quote from the Bible in which experts have found signs of extremism.
The experts considered that the translation of the new world is not a translation of the bible because it uses the personal name of God, Jehovah. Speaking of this name and fame in Russia, novakov mentions the relief in the construction of the Russian Constitutional Court in st. Petersburg, in which this name is present in the Hebrew language. An application for renewal was announced, the prosecutor did not support this request.

The Court considered that, in the light of the contradictions revealed in the expert s' opinion, it is necessary to interview the experts themselves, Natalia Kryukova, Alexander Tarasov and Viktor Kotelnikov and appointed the next meeting on 20 December.

"Owl" experts believe that the recognition of extremism as the Bible in the translation of Jehovah's witnesses and their other publications is not justifiable, and considers such prohibitions as manifestations of religious discrimination. The prosecution and the court attempted to circumvent the law prohibiting the recognition of the sacred writings of world religions as extremists,
Which is a sad precedent, which in the long term opens up the possibility of banning other translations and exhibitions of sacred books.

It should be recalled that the Jehovah's witness center and its nearly 400 branches in the Russian regions were recognized as extremist organizations and liquidated by the Supreme Court's decision to distribute "books and extremist pamphlets". in the world, this decision It is perceived as discrimination of a religious organization.
