Again Searches in Homes of Jehovah's Witnesses in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Two Under House Arrest

On November 20, 2025, at 7 a.m., law enforcement officers carried out searches at four addresses of Jehovah's Witnesses in the city of Kansk. Afterward five believers were taken for interrogation. One man and one woman were placed under house arrest with tracking bracelets on their legs, while another woman was ordered not to leave her home at night.

Active religious prosecution in the Krasnoyarsk Territory began in 2018, shortly after the organizations of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia had been liquidated. Since then, at least 125 searches have taken place there. The last one — in September this year. Criminal cases against a total of 33 people from this region have been initiated; 5 are serving sentences in penal colonies.
