    Tonight on PRI The World there was the following segment:

    Jehovah’s Witnesses in Russia have been targeted by anti-extremism law

    Since 2017, Jehovah’s Witnesses have been designated an extremist organization in Russia — it’s unclear why, but the religious group does
    not believe in war, which observers think may be at least part of the reason. Reporter Levi Bridges explains how a law meant to fight terrorism has been
    used to jail people for their religious affiliation.
