Lyudmila and Irina Zinin are being searched as part of a mass raid on the homes of Jehovah's Witnesses in the Kuban. Electronic devices and data carriers are seized.
Criminal case No. 42302030079000007 against unidentified persons under Article 282.2 (1) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is separated from the case of Ushakov and others in Vyselki .
Materials "containing information about a new crime" of Lyudmila Zinina are separated from the case against unidentified persons.
R. S. Latysh, senior investigator of the Korenovsky Interdistrict Investigation Department of the Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Krasnodar Territory, initiates a criminal case against Lyudmila Zinina under Part 2 of Article 282.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. According to the investigation, the believer is guilty of extremism for "reading aloud religious books" of Jehovah's Witnesses and "entering into conversations and religious discussions."
Lyudmila Zinina is included in the list of extremists of Rosfinmonitoring.
Senior investigator R. S. Latysh takes a written undertaking not to leave Lyudmila Zinina.
The investigator charges Lyudmila Zinina and interrogates her in her new status. A believer enjoys the right not to testify against herself and her loved ones.
The case is submitted to the Vyselkovsky District Court of the Krasnodar Territory. It will be considered by judge Lidia Koba.
The court does not satisfy the defense's request to merge the criminal cases of believers in Vyselki.
The prosecutor reads out the charges. Lyudmila expresses her attitude.
The state prosecutor reads out several pages from the volumes of the case, since for technical reasons it is not possible to listen to and view audio and video materials of the case.
The court does not satisfy the defense's request to declassify the secret witness. His interrogation takes place in a separate room. The secret witness says he has known Jehovah's Witnesses since the late 1980s. I never met or communicated with Lyudmila personally. Neither he nor his family had ever received threats from any of Jehovah's Witnesses.
