In Lobachovka village, OCU supporters knocked out the door and “transferred” the temple
In order to get to the temple, activists of the territorial community knocked out the door to the temple, reports Volyn Online.
According to local residents, after the worship 21 UOC believers, Father Mikhail Yavorsky, rector of the church, Berestechko dean Dmitry Petrushchak and two other priests of the UOC closed in the church to prevent its takeover.
200 people from the territorial community, supporters of the OCU, came to the locked door. To get to the temple, they smashed the door. The “priest” from the village of Skrigovoe, who had been called by activists, tore his jacket as a result of the stampede.
The police arrived at the scene of the incident. The community changed the locks.
As the UOJ reported, earlier the NGO Public Advocacy published a legal video instruction on how to protect a church from the raider seizure.
