Jehovah's Witness adherent, Dennis Christensen, has been released from prison in Russia, after serving five years on extremism charges, the religious organization said on Tuesday.

Christiansen, a 49-year-old builder, was arrested at a prayer meeting in Oryol, 200 miles (320km) south of Moscow, in 2017, after Jehovah's Witnesses had been banned in Russia after the Supreme Court ruled it extremist.
