Russia: FSB raid smashes major underground gun-running ring
The Russian Federal Security (FSB) and Interior Ministry coordinated a joint special operation that seized more than 100 firearms, 35 kilograms of explosives, 20 explosive devices and over 10,000 rounds of ammunition on Tuesday in the Tver region.
The FSB Public Relations Center announced the operation's success on Tuesday, noting that the weapons seized in St. Petersburg, in Tver, Smolensk, Pskov and Novgorod regions lead to the detention of an organised criminal group. The pan-regional criminal network illegally produced and transported lethal arms to the northwestern federal districts and was involved in a series of crimes.
Arms trafficking is a significant problem in Russia, with many weapons issued to Soviet soldiers finding their way into private hands after the breakup of the USSR and the Soviet Army. According to a 2009 investigation by Novaya Gazeta, there are around 170,000 pistols and automatic weapons now in private hands illegally.
The right to legally carry arms also remains controversial in Russia and possession is subject to licensing regulations. The issue hit the news after a Belgorod resident opened fire in a gun shop in the centre of town, killing six civilians on April 22. President Vladimir Putin has expressed opposition to liberalising ownership laws, citing the large number of guns in circulation among the Russian population.

Jehova's Witnesses hunted down in Russia
In the town of Urai in Russia's northern Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous region, the police in cooperation with Federal Security Bureau officers conducted a special operation to arrest members of Jehovah's Witnesses religious organization. The organisation is banned in Russia.
A criminal case was initiated against the Jehovists living in Urai. The police seized extremist literature, computers, cell phones and other items relevant to the investigation.
The activities of the religious organization in Uray had been organized from July 2017 to July 2018, that is, after Jehovah’s Witnesses was banned in the Russian Federation as an extremist organization. However, it remains unclear why security forces decided to detain them only now. It also remains unknown how many people were arrested.
As it was said, the followers of this organization were propagating their superiority over other citizens who were not Jehovah’s Witnesses, and held secret gatherings to work out plans, study extremist ideology and recruit new members among local residents inciting them to break their family relations and disregard public authorities.
It is worth noting that Russian President Putin said at a meeting of the Human Rights Council on December 11, 2018 that the inclusion of Jehovah's Witnesses on the list of extremist groups was total nonsense. However, the persecution of the Jehovists in Russia continued.
On February 7, the Kremlin reported that Putin would soon give instructions on the results of his meeting with members of the Human Rights Council pertaining to the decision to ban Jehovah's Witnesses in the Russian Federation. Putin’s spokesman declined to comment on the recent decision of the court of the city of Orel, which on February 6, 2019, sentenced Danish citizen Dennis Christensen to six years in prison on charges of extremism.

Russian court upholds guilty verdict for Jehovah's Witness
(23 May 2019) A court in Russia has ruled that a Danish Jehovah's Witness must stay in prison for the next six years.
The court in western Russia on Thursday turned down Dennis Christensen's appeal against February's verdict that found him guilty of participating in the activities of an extremist organization.
Amnesty International called the ruling an affront to the rights of freedom of religion and association.
It's terrible and petrifying, we don't agree with this and will keep fighting, said Dennis Christensen's wife Irina, who was speaking at the court.
Russia in recent years has used its vaguely worded extremism laws to go after dissenters, opposition activists and most recently religious minorities.
Russia officially banned the Jehovah's Witnesses in 2017 and declared the religious group an extremist organization.
Nearly 200 Jehovah's Witnesses are facing criminal charges, including 28 people who are kept in pretrial detention and under house arrest.
