Search in the house of a believer in Sevastopol

On July 7, 2019, at 07:30, the house of Vladimir Petrovsky, a resident of Sevastopol, was searched. The suspicion that he belonged to the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses was the reason for the invasion of the believer's home. The details of the incident are being clarified.

Law enforcement officers mistakenly interpret the religion of citizens as participation in the activities of an extremist organization, which causes a widespread wave of searches and detentions of peaceful believers.

Earlier, security officers searched the homes of at least 9 Sevastopol residents, one of whom was detained and later released on his own recognizance. "Life in our family began to divide into before and after," said one of the victims during searches in Dzhankoy (Crimea).
