In Kamchatka, law enforcement officers invaded the worship service of Jehovah's Witnesses through a broken window
Kamchatka TerritoryOn November 13, 2016, in the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, two armed masked operatives broke a window and entered a residential building on Kavkazskaya Street, where about 100 local believers were holding a service. Ignoring the owner's demands, masked men opened the door from the inside and let in about 20 law enforcement officers, including Assistant Prosecutor of the Kamchatka Territory Anton Uvarov and Police Lieutenant Colonel Yevgeny Kurdenkov. Without presenting any orders, those who came interviewed and copied the data of believers, and also conducted a search, during which one of those present needed emergency assistance and was hospitalized.
Explaining his actions, Uvarov, an employee of the prosecutor's office, said that "there are a large number of people on the territory of the building, which means that signs of extremist activity can be seen." During the search, the police used a crowbar to open some rooms. Audio equipment and CDs that were planted near the broken window were seized.
