FSB Agents Raid Jehovah's Witnesses Service In Central Russia; Danish Man Arrested

Masked security agents and local police raided a worship service that was being by Jehovah's Witnesses in the central Russian city of Oryol, the latest in a series of raids following a Supreme Court ruling banning the denomination.

The religious group said that at least 15 officers, some masked and some heavily armed, halted the service on May 25, recorded names of attendees, seized cell phones and other electronics, and took written statements.

Several of the officers were from the Federal Security Service (FSB), Russia's primary security agency.

The group said that police also searched the homes of several Jehovah’s Witnesses in the city.
