Today's Video Focus: In northern Russia, seven men have come forward to claim they were
tortured by police because of their religious views. The men are all
Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Their organisation was banned by Russia’s Supreme Court in 2017 as
extremist and dozens of Jehovah’s Witnesses have since been detained
across the country.
Officials in Surgut initially denied the reports of torture, but now say
they will investigate. President Vladimir Putin has called the
prosecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses ‘utter nonsense’ and asked the
Supreme Court for clarification on how the law is applied.
Focus of the Day Article:
Legalise assisted dying for terminally ill, say 90% of people in UK. Opinion poll shows growing support in Britain for change to law on right to die.
