On August 27, 2019, a group of “priests” of the Kiev Patriarchate, as well as several dozen believers of this structure, came to a meeting of the Kiev District Court “to protect their constitutional rights and defend the right to existence of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kiev Patriarchate,” the official Facebook page says.
Some of the faithful and “clergy” went into the courtroom and actually disrupted the hearings of the lawsuit of the UOC-KP against the Ministry of Culture on the liquidation of the Kiev Patriarchate.
The supporters of the UOC-KP who could not attend the court session made a “prayer for God's blessing for a good deed” in the courtyard of the institution.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that representatives of the UOC-KP announced the acts of civil disobedience in connection with the illegal liquidation of the Kiev Patriarchate by the Ministry of Culture.
