“Right Sector” attacks the UOC shrine in Ternopol

On December 11 the “Right Sector” nationalists held another action not far from the only UOC shrine in Ternopol. According to eye-witnesses, radicals were waving flags of their organization, distributed leaflets and from time to time cried out a slogan “Get away Moscow priest”.

According to the UOJ source, the believers responded to these assaults with humbleness.

It’s for the fourth time now that radicals have gathered around the walls of the Cathedral consecrated in the honor great martyrs Vera, Nadezhda, Liubov and their mother Sofia. In their opinion, the radicals want to “communicate the right views on religion” to the UOC parishioners.

The police in Ternopol say the nationalists have registered their actions till the end of December.
