In Belgorod-Dnestrovsky radicals urge to allocate the land to non-existing community of the UOC-KP

On June 28 in Belgorod-Dnestrovky, Odessa region, radicals gathered together for a march again urging to get the land for the UOC KP community. This community appeared to have no local believers, so radicals brought the outsiders to the march. It is reported by the Information and Education Department of the UOC.

The column, walking around the city, shouted political slogans and blamed local authorities for discriminating the community of the UOC-KP by not allocating the land for the construction of churches. Among the protesters were ten representatives of the UOC-KP of Odessa region, who tried to claim violation of the right to freedom of religion of the UOC-KP community, which does not exist in the city.

For unknown reasons, the organizers called their action "a cross procession."
