Ivan Nikitin

Resident of Komsomolsk-on-Amur. On 25 May 2023, he was searched as part of a case of involvement in the activities of an extremist organisation due to his involvement in the Jehovah's Witnesses community.

Representatives of this community are prosecuted under extremist articles solely on the basis of their religious activities: holding meetings and worship services and attracting new supporters.

On 1 October 2025, the court sentenced Nikitin to a two-year suspended sentence.
