The case of Novoseletskaya in Vyselki

A. D. Bushuev, investigator of the Korenovsky Interdistrict Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee, initiates a criminal case against Natalia Novoseletskaya under Part 2 of Article 282.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The believer is suspected of "taking a direct part in religious teaching and sermons ... entered into conversations and religious discussions with other participants... read aloud to other participants the religious books of Jehovah's Witnesses, emphasizing that these books contain true knowledge about God."

Investigator of the Investigative Committee Dmitry Laktionov summons Natalia for interrogation, during which he involves her as an accused.

Deputy Prosecutor of the Vyselkovsky District, Junior Counselor of Justice A. V. Bushev returns the case of Natalia Novoseletskaya submitted to him for approval to investigator Bushuev for further investigation.

Investigator Bushuev presents Novoseletskaya with a new version of the charge and interrogates her.

It becomes known that the case was submitted to the Vyselkovsky District Court of the Krasnodar Territory. It will be considered by Judge Elizaveta Proskuryakova.

Natalia speaks with an attitude to the charges. "Extremism is the polar opposite of the teachings of Jesus Christ, which are the basis of my life principles," she says.

The court is examining the case materials. After the state prosecutor reads out the defendant's statements from the video meetings for worship, the lawyer states that they do not contain anything illegal.

A secret witness "Pastor", who testified against Jehovah's Witnesses from Vyselki, is interrogated. "For me, this person is absolutely positive," he says about the defendant and adds that he cannot say anything bad about her. The witness confirms that Nataliya participated in meetings for worship, and not in meetings of a legal entity.
