Padri wa Kanisa Katoliki, John Burdin wa Kijiji cha Karabanovo amejikuta matatani baada ya kukemea vita katika ibada aliyoiongoza Jumapili kanisani kwake. Atafikishwa mahakamani leo.
Padri huyo amekosoa mapigano yanayoendelea kati ya Urusi na Ukraine. Na amekuwa akipost picha za kupinga vita katika tovuti yake.
Polisi wamemtuhumu kwa kosa la kukosoa matumizi ya jeshi. Kukosoa matumizi ya jeshi ni jinai kwa mujibu wa sheria iliyopitishwa na Duma (bunge la Urusi) wiki iliyopita.

He’d preached against the war, described to locals the ongoing shelling and destruction in Ukrainian cities, and also shared anti-war images and a petition on the parish’s website.

Police have charged him with ‘discrediting the use of the Armed Forces’ -a criminal offence established by Russia’s state duma just last week.

More than 13,000 people have been arrested so far, including over 4,600 on Sunday, local NGO trackers say.
Another tweet from Andrey shows the extent to which anti-war messages are being censored: Russian officials painting ice to cover a 'no to war' message etched into the ground:
