A court in Rostov province issued a guilty verdict against 16 persons in a case about the activity in Taganrog of a prohibited religious organization and enticement of minors into it, an official representative of the district prosecutor's office, Oksana Sukhareva, told Interfax on Monday.
"The court established that four organizers of an extremist criminal group, knowing that the Rostov provincial court had found the religious organization of Jehovah's Witnesses to be extremist and had banned its activity in Taganrog and the Neklinov and Matveevo-Kurgan districts of Rostov province, continued to develop its activity. In addition, they drew minor children into the banned organization," the news agency's source said.
The court sentenced three organizers to five
