Russian Court Sentences Jehovah's Witness To 6½ Years In Prison

Forum 18 reports that in the Russian city of Pskov, a trial court has sentenced a 61-year old Jehovah's Witness to 6½ years imprisonment on charges of financing extremist activity.  This is the longest sentence imposed on a Jehovah's Witness since the 2017 Russian Supreme Court decision banning Jehovah's Witness activity.  A 6-year sentence was imposed on another Jehovah's Witness by a court in the city of Oryol last year.
