MOSCOW - The Soviet gov
ernment has jailed an unspec
ified number of Jehovah's Wit
nesses for alleged '‘anti-social
and anti-state activities,” reports
in this capital have indicated.
How many persons were jailed
and for what terms was not dis
closed, but the Soviet labor news
paper Trud named six persons
and said they were headed by A.
Potaahov.
The report said that several of
the accused condemned their own
"anti-popular activity” and were
given suspended sentences. It
did not say Whether Potashov was
among those who were given sus
pended sentences.
Called Anti-State
NEW YORK .- A spokesman
here was unable to confirm re
ports of the jailing of Jehovah’s
Witnesses h the Soviet Unioo,
but explained that members of
the religious organization have
been continually harrassed by the
Soviets since 1945.
Ulysse* Glass, press secretary,
said Witnesses in the United States
"have some contact” with mem
bers in the Soviet, "but not as
much as we would like have.”
While he had not received re
ports of the asserted arrest of
Witnesses, Glass said he was not
surprised by them.
Denies Charges
Trud said the "underground
firm of Jehovah” had received
instructions from Brooklyn, New
York, which were "not religious
instructions but illegal antl-so-
cial and anti-state activities.”
The "Brooklyn chiefs of the or
ganization had worked out "spec
ial Instructions about strict se
crecy in the activities of the
Jehovah’s witnesses,” the report
said," and had used "coded
reports” about their activities.
Trud laid thousands of copies
of the Witnesses’ organ, “The
Watchtower,” and other leaflets
were printed here. Some of the
originals bed been brought into
the Soviet Union by private per
sons, the report said also.
Trud’a report of the trial In
the western Ukraine mentioned
Jehovah’s Witnesses groups op
erating also in tee Irkutsk re
gion of Siberia, la Moldavia, near
the Rumanian border, and in the
Kurgan and Tomsk regions of
Siberia.
But he denied the veracity
of the "anti-social and anti-State"
charges, explaining that Witness
es everywhere believe that “God’s
government is the hope of the
world.”
"Of course,” he added, "the
Soviet government can not ac
cept that.”
Glass told the Amsterdam News
that the filing of such a charge
against the Witnesses was cus
tomary 8oviet procedure to jus
tify their Jailing and persecution
of religious organizations.
He said that he did not know
how many Witnesses were in the
Soviet, but explained that WR-
ndksea la til Iron Curtain coun
tries totaled about 108,000.
Glass said that religious liter
ature is printed in the Soviet.
He replied that literature from
this country Is not slnt there,
but volunteered that it Is im
ported Into the Soviet by private
persons in other countries In
Europe.
