Jehovah's Witnesses Are Being Persecuted in Russia

On Thursday, February 28, the U.S. Mission to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) delivered a statement to the OSCE's Permanent Council in Vienna about reports of torture of Jehovah's Witnesses at the hands of Russian law enforcement. The issue has been met with equivocation by Russian president Vladimir Putin, but it sheds light on a serious problem: Jehovah's Witnesses are being persecuted and driven out of Russia.
