Jehovah's Witnesses face sentencing of up to seven years in Russia for being labeled as 'extremist' by the Supreme Court, following a 2017 designation. The European Court of Human Rights ruled the ban as illegal, prompting allegations of mistreatment and torture. Currently, 790 members are facing charges or investigations, with 147 already sentenced last year.
