Claim made that JWs violate the rights of Russian citizens.
Court asks what sort of right violated.
Ministry of Justice explains medical rights. (NOTE: What was not discussed was changes to Russia's law last year that made it an offence to discourage individuals from receiving medical treatment. As this law exists the claim of potential 'rights violated' has basis under law.)
Judge asks if banning JWs will cause those who ignore ban to commit offences.
Ministry of Justice replies only for those who break the law.
Discussion on the list of banned publications. Judge wants to know who reviews the list. (NOTE: Article 13 of Federal law no. 114-FZ and par. 7 of the Regulations of the Ministry of Justice assign the ministry the functions of maintaining, publishing of the Federal list of extremist material which lists JW literature.)
