A Russian court has confiscated 123 real estate assets belonging to Jehovah's Witnesses. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
The decision comes amid ongoing pressure on religious organizations in Russia. Details about the specific list and locations of the confiscated properties have not been disclosed yet.
Jehovah's Witnesses' activities have been banned in Russia since 2017, with the organization designated as extremist. This new confiscation ruling is a continuation of that policy.
According to Reuters, the court decision was published on July 31, 2026. This event may draw international attention, as religious freedom issues are often discussed.
