President Donald Trump has sent a strong message to the Russia Federation over the country’s ban on the “peaceful activities” of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Trump warns Russia to reverse its decision immediately else he would use the country’s own constitution against them.
“You know right that this is contrary to the constitution of the land of the Russia Federation. I request you to reverse the decision immediately before I use your own constitution against you” – Trump warned.
Trump went on to invite all Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia to seek asylum in the United States until their religious rights are reinstated in Russia.
“As this is an infringement of your fundamental human rights, I therefore urge you to seek asylum in the United States until your rights are fully reinstated.” – Trump urged.

Russia’s Supreme Court ruled on April 20, 2017 that the Jehovah’s Witnesses organization should be closed down and no longer allowed to operate legally in Russia, Human Rights Watch said today. The ruling, which affects more than 100,000 Jehovah’s Witness worshippers across Russia, is a serious breach of Russia’s obligations to respect and protect religious freedom.

donnie:

dunno why america keep interfering,even when not neccessary

If putin decides to ban any organisation,religous group etc,in accordance with the law of the the land or notmwetin be trump own there

Trump dey look for trouble, I guess.

No body was against you banning Muslims from entering your country and restricting their activities because it your country! Saudi or Palestine didn't blink an eye because of your decision, but condemning Russia for her action is looking for trouble far!


Someone should remind POTUS that there is still what is called self-determinism, as a nation. Russia is not a weak government like Belgium, Spain, and third world countries like Nigeria.

quoting CNN, "trump has moved from being America First to an interventionist"

The Jehovah Witness are an American institution/brand sold around the world. Americans are usually passionate about all things American.

What's your proof that this is fake news. You think you can just come here and make a false claim. Google the news, its all over the internet

It is not quite hard to see why Moscow may have proscribed the Jehovah Witness guys that is if this story is any thing to go by. As a matter of fact,they(Jehovah Witness) have always had a raw deal in that part of the world (whether as Russia or USSR) due to their extremist stance. I remember reading how Josef Stalin dealt heavy-handedly with them,sometimes detaining and deporting them to Siberia because he considered them enemies of the State and dissenters. The Russians are no big fans of the JWs.

Meanwhile,Trump should respect the sovereignty of the Russian Federation as guaranteed under international laws,conventions and protocols and steer clear of this trivial issue. As for offering a safe haven to the beleaguered sect(Jehovah Witness) well,nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

Nice one Trump

JW was formed by an American

jw is the most peacfull group

But the religion of bombing, tears sorrow and blood remains legal.

Throughout history, three has been no case of terrorism perpetuated under the guise of Jehova's witness organization. Putin is sick.

I am well aware of that. But that does not give Trump the right to meddle into the affairs of a sovereign entity-Russia in this case. He should let sleeping dogs...

You call this a trivial issue? This is no trivial sir. JW, an organization that has never been involved with any form of terrorism is unjustly banned and you call it trivial?

If Trump banned Islam in the US, you will be among the people who will call for his head but you cannot condemn what is wrong. Islam that has been responsible for 99.9% of world global terrorism in the last 10 years is the legal.

It doesn't concern him.

My apologies if you found the word "trivial" a bit too extreme or offensive but then this issue to me is nothing big enough for the US to be expending its energy or getting in to a feud with Russia over. There is still Crimea at the corner and one more crisis could further heat up things. We wouldn't want that now,would we?

You think I am a muslim or what?

the thing tire me ooo,that's their biz sha, they don't play with anything American

Banning of jehovah witness just doesn't make sense when a terrorist religion like Islam remains unbanned. It's Islam that should be banned in all civilised countries all over the world.
