Website redesign JW-RUSSIA.ORG. What has changed?

On July 19, 2022, the website "Jehovah's Witnesses. Legal situation in Russia" (jw-russia.org). In addition to improvements in design, there are new features that make it easier to navigate the site and find the information you need.

The main page now displays more important news. They are presented in the form of a scrolling ribbon, which is convenient to use both when reading from a computer and from mobile devices.

"Five years of persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia" is the title of a new separate page that contains the main results of the criminal prosecution of believers since the Supreme Court ruled to liquidate Jehovah's Witnesses organizations in Russia. Leads the corresponding banner to this page.

Previously, the search for news was limited only to a filter by region. Now the news is also distributed in categories. By clicking on a particular category displayed above the news headline, the user can see all the materials related to this category. For example, this is how you can find all publications about unjust sentences, the situation of prisoners in colonies and pre-trial detention centers or legal victories.

Another innovation is the tape chronology of cases. This block displays messages about the latest events taking place in the lives of believers as part of the criminal prosecution of Jehovah's Witnesses. All these records are sequentially collected in chronological order on a separate page. You can go to it from this block in one click.

Most of the graphic and functional solutions, as well as their purpose, do not require additional explanations, since they are intuitive when using the site.

"We hope that the updates will simplify public access to information about the repression of Jehovah's Witnesses and this will serve to protect the right to freedom of religion in Russia," said Yaroslav Sivulsky, a representative of the European Association of Jehovah's Witnesses.
