Russia Jails Elderly Jehovah's Witnesses on Spy Testimony

Two elderly Jehovahs Witnesses, Valeriy Knyazev and Indus Talipov, sentenced to prison in Russia, marking them as the oldest among 175 imprisoned members. The countrys religious landscape, dominated by the Russian Orthodox Church, led to the outlawing of Jehovahs Witnesses in 2017, resulting in nearly 900 prosecutions. The recent trial relied on secret testimony from an undercover agent, part of a growing network used by the FSB security service to prosecute Jehovahs Witnesses.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
