Homes of Jehovah's Witnesses Are Searched in Tatarstan

Tatarstan

Early in the morning of September 20, 2017, law enforcement officers raided at least 2 homes of Jehovah's Witnesses in the city of Bugulma (Tatarstan). The searches were carried out as part of a criminal case in connection with threats to the prosecutor of Bugulma in a letter from an unknown citizen from Moscow. According to the police, that letter indirectly mentions the ban on Jehovah's Witnesses.

During the search, a tablet and a computer, as well as notebooks, Bibles, and books were seized in the family of believer Alexander Levin. Obviously, the search was carried out with the aim of further pressure on believers.
