Jarrod Lopes, spokesperson for the World Headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses, says that since April 2017, when Russia banned the faith, more than 2,000 homes of Witnesses have been raided, and hundreds arrested and charged. One hundred twenty-eight Jehovah's Witnesses are currently in prison. Mr. Lopes says the raids seem to be increasing; there have been 10 in the last 18 days.
