Sergey Nazarov's house is being searched, which lasts more than 3 hours. Despite the request to hold it quietly — the couple are caring for a son with a disability — the officers act without much delicacy (they throw things on the floor and force Nazarov to pick them up, they use rude language).
After the search, the believer and his wife are interrogated.
The Korenovsk Interdistrict Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee for the Krasnodar Territory initiates a criminal case against Sergey Nazarov for participating in the activities of an extremist organization.
Law enforcement officers again come to search the Nazarov family. Employees enter the local area, open the gates and wake up the family with a loud knock on the windows and doors. This time the search takes place in a calmer atmosphere, nothing is seized from Sergey and his family.
Senior investigator of the Korenovsk Interdistrict Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Krasnodar Territory D. S. Fomenko attracts Sergey Nazarov as a defendant in the activities of an extremist organization.
According to the ruling, Sergey "took a direct part in religious sermons, during which ... conducted and listened to lectures based on the religious literature of Jehovah's Witnesses, entered into conversations and religious discussions with other participants."
The case goes to the Vyselkovsky District Court.
The prosecutor reads out the charge. The defendant does not admit his guilt and draws attention to the fact that there are no victims in the case and he is being tried solely for his religious beliefs.
