Interesting suggestion but why the necessity for torture, fear and imprisonment of innocent people versus blessing at a football match in Peru ? Wouldn't simple standard persecution and a few emails to the Human rights activists have been sufficient ?

I wonder how many Russians who would have received JW preaching about JW beliefs but didn't get the opportunity, take any notice at all about The EU Human Rights court ? My guess would be zero. There is no reason to think the average Russian even knows there is such a court, let alone take any notice of it's musings. Particularly if those Russians are faithful Orthodox Church Christians.
I suggest it would not be unreasonable to ask Jehovah to give a bit more thought before handing out blessings to some and torture to others.
After all it's not as if those Russian tortured were in the Apostle class where their sacrifices were needed to get things going.

Again an excellent question! The reason is outlined by the one that is behind the torture,intimidation and imprisonment.

(Job 2:4) But Satan answered Jehovah: “Skin for skin. A man will give everything that he has for his life.
Notice Satan didn't limit the issue to Job maintaining integrity. He extended it to involve anyman (or woman).

Jesus warned his disciples could expect no less persecution than he got.
(John 16:1, 2) “I have said these things to you so that you may not be stumbled. 2 Men will expel you from the synagogue. In fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he has offered a sacred service to God.
