The case of Jehovah's Witnesses in Moscow on financing extremist activities

Resident of Moscow. On 10 April 2025, he was placed in custody in a case of financing extremist activities due to his involvement in the activities of the Jehovah's Witnesses community. Representatives of this community are prosecuted under extremist articles solely because of their religious activities — holding meetings and worship services and attracting new supporters.

Then Velikov was also charged under the article on participation in the activities of an extremist organisation.

On 18 December 2025, the court sentenced him to five and a half years in a general regime colony.
