THIRTY-FIVE
DAY
RECESS DECLARED IN HEARINGS IN CASE OF DANISH JEHOVAH'S WITNESS
IN OREL
Jehovah's
Witnesses
in Russia, 28 February 2018
On
26 February
2018, the Zheleznodorozhny district court of the city of Orel
granted a defense
petition and gave Dennis Christensen additional time for
familiarizing himself
with materials of the case. Previously the Soviet district court
of the city of
Orel substantially restricted his right to this, giving him only
two weeks for
familiarizing himself with 2,500 pages of documents in a
language that is not
his native tongue.
The
consul of
the Royal Embassy of Denmark in Moscow, Jean Christina Demirchi,
is in Orel in
connection with the hearings.
The hearing in the Zheleznodorozhny district court of Orel will continue on 3 April 2018 at 10:30 a.m. (tr. by PDS, posted 1 March 2018)
