According to the NGOs, the religious organization has made it a point to violate the laws with hope of paying fines when caught, this, they described as “disrespect of the legislature”
“The Seventh-day Adventist Church and other Christian denominations in Russia oppose extremism and terrorism,” the Adventist Church’s Euro-Asia Division said in an e-mailed statement. “It goes without saying that it is important and necessary for governments to adopt measures to combat extremism and terrorism. We hope that the application of this law will apply exclusively to terrorist and extremist organizations and those who share their beliefs.”
Despite attempts to distance itself from extremism and terrorism, the Adventist Church would have its fate decided in May.
Few days ago, a ban was placed on Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia for being ‘extremists’.
