Activists bused to court hearings in UOC cases, media say
A minibus has been spotted transporting protesters to and from courthouses where UOC cases are being heard.
Eyewitnesses have reported seeing organizers of protests outside courthouses handling UOC cases bringing in groups of elderly women by minibus and driving them away afterward, according to the Pershyi Kozatskyi Telegram channel.
At recent hearings, elderly women have begun joining a group of activists who regularly stage provocations against UOC lawyers. Alongside the activists, they chant slogans outside the courthouse, including “Down with the Moscow priest!” Afterward, the entire group is picked up and driven away.
Human rights activist Viktoria Kokhanovska documented a minibus bearing military insignia and license plates marked “Zviahel” picking up the protesters. According to her, the vehicle was originally purchased for the military but is now being used to transport provocateurs.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that “parishioners” had been bused to the Lavra for Epifaniy’s name day.
