In Novoaleksandrovsk, investigators and police arrested three residents on suspicion of burning the book of the New Testament, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Stavropol Territory reported.
According to investigators, on the evening of May 2, in the courtyard of one of the houses, young people burned part of the Bible “for hooligan motives, motivated by religious hatred.” They recorded their actions on video, which they posted on Messenger.
The young people are suspected of insulting the religious feelings of believers (part 1 of article 148 of the Criminal Code) and hooliganism (part 2 of article 213 of the Criminal Code). Soon the court is expected to choose a preventive measure for them.
Local telegram channels published video allegedly posted by the detainees. The voices of several people are heard on the recording, and three guys appear in the frame. One of them puts a book on a hot grill. “No, it won’t burn, it’s a divine book,” comments one of the participants in the recording. “We’ll see now,” replies the other.
Po data On the telegram channel “Baza”, the detainees were students of the Stavropol Cooperative College branch in Novoaleksandrovsk, Danila Zh., 20 years old, Yuri M., 17 years old, and Dmitry S., 21 years old. , Danila said the young people found the Bible under the fence during a birthday party. He said he found “something against God and Jesus” in the book and didn’t think it was the Bible. The mother of one of the detainees, Baza claims, said her son had been drinking heavily that night and did not remember much of what happened.
What happened commented Governor of the Stavropol Territory Vladimir Vladimirov. “We still have to take care of the children. Today, people will do anything to hype things up. Especially the Youngs. And in these holy days (On May 5, Orthodox Christians will celebrate Easter – approx. “Jellyfish”), on this Good Friday, I would really like us all to believe in God, to protect ourselves and our loved ones,” said the head of the region, congratulating residents on the upcoming holiday.
Later Vladimirov published video with the detainees’ apologies. “Asking for forgiveness is important. But words cannot undo what has been done. The boys ruined their lives and the lives of their families,” the governor captioned the video.
