Law enforcement officers disrupted the Sunday service of Jehovah's Witnesses in the Murmansk region

On October 23, 2016, in Snezhnogorsk, Murmansk Region, 15 minutes after the start of the service, law enforcement officers arrived at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses. Referring to a "received message", they said that the building could contain weapons and extremist literature. Since the law enforcement officers did not have a search warrant, the believers let them into the building only under threat of force. During the search, law enforcement officers seized a laptop used to play liturgical music. Brochures submitted to the FSEM were planted and "discovered". The weapon, as expected, was not found.
