In the Moscow region, security forces again broke into a mosque

Security forces conducted a raid on parishioners of a mosque in Balashikha near Moscow. This was reported by Novaya Gazeta Europe. Shortly after the traditional Friday prayer, the mosque was surrounded by masked men with guns. One of them said that they were from the FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Everyone who left the building had their documents checked. According to the mosque's imam, some parishioners were also "offered to serve." A special bus was brought to the house of worship to transport the detainees to the military registration and enlistment office.

Recently, security forces have repeatedly broken into mosques in the cities of Kotelniki and Dzerzhinsky wearing shoes. This happened during prayer. Those who came behaved rudely and insulted the parishioners.

In Reutov, nationalist youth movements, together with security forces, carried out a raid against migrants at the market and the Reutovskaya Manufactory factory. Documents were checked, some were detained and taken away on buses.
