Manifestation of religiously motivated vandalism in the Tula region

On May 5, 2017, in the city of Novomoskovsk (Tula Region), unknown persons entered the courtyard of the building where Jehovah's Witnesses used to hold services and put a threatening inscription on the door.

Actions against Jehovah's Witnesses dictated by religious intolerance became more frequent after the decision of the Supreme Court of Russia on April 20, 2017 to liquidate registered organizations of this religion.
