SBU officers broke into a private home where the daughter of Metropolitan Longin of Bancheny lives. Armed men in full combat gear are conducting a search of the premises where a large family is present.
Security service officers also detained the hierarch’s son-in-law, who is the father of many children. According to eyewitnesses, the security forces are acting demonstratively harshly and are using the presence of armed groups to exert psychological pressure on the hierarch’s relatives.
Metropolitan Longin himself arrived at the scene. The archpastor called on the agency's officers to stop the lawlessness and wait for the arrival of a lawyer to ensure the legality of the process.
Judging by the footage from the scene, law enforcement officers ignored the hierarch's lawful demands and do not plan to allow lawyers to participate in the search.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that Metropolitan Longin spoke about TRC's abuse of his son.
