Video of the excesses of UOC-KP supporters in Stary Gvozdets published

Representatives of the Kyiv Patriarchate, who on November 12, led by the head of the UOC-KP eparchy "Bishop" Julian, with the support of the Kolomyia police, broke into the UOC church of the village of Stary Gvozdets, beat senior believers and used obscene language. This is evidenced by a video published by the press service of the Ivano-Frankivsk eparchy of the UOC.

In the video, members of the UOC-KP are kicking and pushing parishioners of the UOC community, and the people gathered around the church are shouting "Shame!" to the police.

Despite requests of the UOC faithful to the Kolomyia police to intervene and stop the beating, law enforcers paved the way for the Kyiv Patriarchate to the UOC church, and the head of the local police suggested that parishioners appeal to the court if they consider the actions of law enforcers illegal.
