Case History
In April 2023, Aleksandr Sazhin from the city of Fokino became a suspect in a criminal case. On the same day, the security forces searched Aleksandr’s house, where he lives with his wife, as well as in their garage. During the search, the believer’s wife became ill. The man was interrogated and 4 days later charged with participating in the activities of an extremist organization. The investigation considered the peaceful confession of faith to be undermining the constitutional order and propaganda of religious exclusivity.
