Russian intelligence services have spied on and filmed Jehovah s Witnesses in a bathhouse, in the latest example of persecution against the outlawed Christian group.
The snooping, carried out by Russia s Federal Security Service (FSB), was revealed at a trial in the Urals city of Perm, where five Jehovah s Witnesses received suspended sentences for “illegal” religious activities.
