On 2 March 2016 the deputy of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation served a notice to the Organization of the inadmissibility of extremist activities. It was stated in the notice that as of at 1 March 1, 2016, there are 88 informational materials published by organizations of Jehovah’s Witnesses that have been recognized as extremist by final rulings of the courts.

Despite the preventive measures taken, characteristics of extremist activities continue to be identified in activities of the Organization’s branches, which leads to the liquidation of local religious organizations …. The Organization appealed the above mentioned notice to the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation and then to the court. In the decision of 12 October 2016, the Tver district court of Moscow declared the notice lawful and justified.
