“Right Sector” arranged provocation during the Liturgy in Ternopol UOC diocese
On 31 July in the morning during the Divine Liturgy, representatives of the “Right Sector” undertook another provocation near Ternopol Cathedral of martyrs Vera, Nadezhda, Lubov and their mother Sophia. It is reported by the UOC Awareness-Raising Department.
According to the reports, about 10 men in camouflage spread the posters with insulting signs addressed to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The radicals yelled out unfounded accusations towards the believers and distributed around the leaflets with false information about the Church. When the faithful tried to resolve the situation peacefully by means of constructive dialogue, the “Right Sector” representatives began to threaten the parishioners with massacre.
The believers, outraged by the unpunished incitement of religious animosity during the Sunday worship service in the city center, called the police. However, the MIA enforcers were unable to remedy the situation at hand.
The congregation of the Cathedral wrote a collective letter to the district police division upon inciting religious hatred by representatives of the “Right Sector”. Nearly 80 believers signed the document. Earlier the “Right Sector” activists had filed an application on holding a peaceful action.Read also
