Russian Government Cracking Down On Jehovah's Witnesses
ResumeJehovah’s Witnesses have been labeled an extremist group by Russia's Justice Ministry. Some members in Russia have reported being assaulted and arrested, and some of the group's property has been seized.
Yaroslav Sivulskiy is spokesman for the organization in St. Petersburg, Russia. He's a third-generation Jehovah's Witness — both his mother and father were imprisoned in the 1950s, and he himself has served time. Sivulskiy speaks with Here & Now's Lisa Mullins.
