Lawyers are preparing an appeal on the fact of the invasion of the security forces in the mosques of the Moscow region during prayers
The National Association of Lawyers of Russia is preparing an appeal to the supervisory authorities to bring to justice the security forces guilty of breaking into a mosque in the Dzerzhinsky urban district during prayer. Earlier, a similar appeal was made on the fact of the raid in Kotelniki.
According to the head of the association, Ruslan Nagiyev, there are signs of a crime under Art. 148 of the Criminal Code (illegal obstruction of the activities of religious organizations or the conduct of worship), as well as Art. 286 (abuse of office). “If law enforcement agencies have claims against any of the parishioners of mosques, then appropriate checks should be carried out either before or after worship. Interrupting them is a criminal offense,” Nagiyev stressed.
Earlier, the Muftiate of the Moscow Region appealed to the Prosecutor General's Office with a request to check the actions of the security forces for insulting the feelings of believers. The DUM noted that under the auspices of checking the documents of migrants, the raid participants tried to disrupt the Friday prayer, which in itself infringes on the constitutional rights of Muslims.
Recall that lately the security forces twice broke into the mosques of the cities of Kotelniki and Dzerzhinsky in shoes. This happened during prayer. Those who came behaved rudely and insulted the parishioners.
