Early in the morning, Igor Kasabov's apartment is searched. Security forces seize electronic devices and data carriers.
The investigator for especially important cases of the Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Tambov Region, P. V. Salnikov, initiates a criminal case against Igor Kasabov. He is accused of participating in the activities of an extremist organization.
The case goes to the Oktyabrsky District Court of the city of Tambov. It will be considered by judge Vladimir Chernov.
Witnesses are being questioned. One of them, an Orthodox priest, talks about the history and teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses. Other witnesses, colleagues of the accused, give him positive characteristics.
Igor Kasabov explains to the court that the decision of the Supreme Court of April 20, 2017 on the liquidation of organizations concerns legal entities, not believers.
