Case History
In February 2022, the head of the Department for the Protection of the Constitutional Order and the Fight against Terrorism of the Federal Security Service of Russia in the Republic of Adygea sent a report, on the basis of which a month later the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation opened a criminal case against Georgy Godizov. He was suspected of organizing the activities of an extremist organization. On March 18, his bank accounts were blocked, and on March 21, security forces arbitrarily entered his home and searched his workplace. In April, at least five other believers were searched and interrogated.
