On September 3, the court removed the electronic bracelet from Archdeacon Pavel, a monk of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. This was reported by Member of Parliament Artem Dmytruk on his Telegram channel.
"Not long ago, when I posted bail for our father, even a small victory like the removal of the bracelet seemed like a joy. Ahead is the closure of the case, but even now, we can truly rejoice. This is not just joy; it is the triumph of justice. It exists, and it will prevail," the MP wrote.
According to him, the time will come "when those who fabricate hundreds of criminal cases against clergymen will be held accountable before the law."
As reported by UOJ, in February, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) announced that Archdeacon Pavel (Muzyczko), a resident of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, was under suspicion, claiming that he was involved in "organizing provocations at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra."
