A Defective Criminal Case Against 6 Believers From Orenburg Returned to Prosecution. Two of Them Spent Almost 3 Months in Jail

On January 14, 2020, Tatyana Gorbacheva, judge of the Industrial District Court of Orenburg, returned the criminal case against six believers to the prosecutor’s office due to the unspecific nature of the charge and the lack of motives and goals for the alleged crime. It’s unclear how the believers’ actions were related to “extremist” activity, the court found.
