"Prosecutors launched a drive to outlaw the JWs in a trial that could have implications for all faiths in Russia. The case is the most prominent test so far of Russia's new law on religion, which is designed to curb activities of foreign religious organizations seeking new members in Russia.. The indictment accuses JWs of inciting religious discord, splitting famililes, promoting suicide and denying medical care to the critically ill. The central accusation against Witnesses is that they "form religious strife" by claiming to be "the only true religion." (Kansas City Star, 2.13.99 p.11)
