Update: CASE WON!!!

January 22, 2014 UPDATE: Jehovah’s Witnesses won a 

court victory today when an appellate court reversed an 

earlier ruling by a lower court that banned jw.org, the 

official website of Jehovah’s Witnesses, throughout 

Russia. The Regional Court of Tver conducted a new 

trial, which concluded that the decision of the 

Tsentralniy District Court on August 7, 2013, was 

unjustified, since there was no legal reason to ban the 

site. “Witnesses around the world are rejoicing at this 

victory,” states J. R. Brown, a spokesman at the 

Witnesses’ world headquarters. “Thanks to this legal 

victory, all citizens of Russia will continue to have 

access to this excellent Bible-education website.”
