Religious Persecution In Russia

Source
The country of Russia has started a serious crackdown on Jehovah's Witnesses that has many concerned. The "crime of confessing faith" is becoming a trend, but we're used to seeing more of this out of China as Russia has been fairly lenient, or at least quiet and not publicizing, about persecuting people for their faith. The Moscow Times reports:

On Feb. 6, a court in Oryol handed down the first actual – and not suspended – sentence against a Jehovah’s Witness, the Danish citizen Dennis Christensen, for the crime of confessing his faith. Basedon current Russian legislation, the judge effectively had no choice but to send Christensen to prison.

This case and the sentence itself show what a dangerous trap Russian law enforcement agencies and authorities have fallen into by waging an anti-religious campaign against Jehovah’s Witnesses, and in their desire to control society as a whole.

This man has been sentenced for 6 years in prison and this act has the UN Rights Chief deeply concerned.

As time moves forward, we are seeing a large uptick in those who put their faith in Christ, Isa, Yeshua, etc... to be persecuted and jailed! This will only continue to get worse until something is done. The Messiah is here and all who profess their faith to him will be blessed! Please leave your comments in the replies section below.

Have a very nice day!
