“Either There Are Rights and Freedoms for Everyone, or They Are Not for Anyone.” The Last Word of Denis Timoshin at the Trial in Penza
Penza RegionJehovah's Witnesses avoid bloodshed and value the life of even an unborn child. There are no racial conflicts among them, they do not raise uprisings even in conditions of severe repression. Extremism is alien to witnesses. On December 12, 2019, Penza resident Denis Timoshin , one of six citizens accused of organizing extremist activities for his faith, spoke about this in court.
The court did not heed the arguments of the believer and sentenced him to two years of suspended imprisonment. The court's decision has been appealed. In anticipation of the appeal hearings, we publish the last word of Denis Timoshin, in which he spoke about faith, the history of repression and his view on the causes and organizers of persecution.
