A Moscow-imposed court in the Russian-annexed Ukrainian Black Sea peninsula of Crimea has sentenced three Jehovah's Witnesses to prison terms amid an ongoing crackdown against the religious group, the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty website reports today (October 7, 2022).
The Crimean Solidarity human rights group said that the Nakhimov district court in the city of Sevastopol sentenced three men to six years in prison each after finding them guilty of organizing activities for the group.
The Jehovah's Witnesses group is considered extremist and banned in Russia, but is legal in Ukraine.
