The Case of Irina Zinina in Vyselki

A two-hour search is underway in Irina Zinina's house, where she lives with her parents. The search warrant is issued by investigator A. A. Garmash. According to Irina, the police officers searched her and her mother Lyudmila for the addresses of other believers, as well as books and records with the name of God. Electronic devices, data carriers, personal records and a copy of the Bible are seized from women.

A criminal case is initiated against Irina under the article on participation in the activities of an extremist organization.

Irina is summoned for questioning. Investigator Roman Latysh wonders if she knows Viktor Spirichev, a defendant in a similar criminal case. The believer was charged under Part 2 of Article 282.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

The case goes to the Vyselkovsky District Court of the Krasnodar Territory. It will be considered by Judge Oksana Melnikova.

By agreement, the lawyer voices a petition to return the case to the prosecutor in connection with violations. The state prosecutor reads out the charges. Irina Zinina expresses her attitude to the charges.

The case is referred to Judge Elizaveta Proskuryakova, in connection with which the hearings begin anew.

Irina Zinina gives her final statement. The believer notes: "I know for sure that if I didn't believe in Jehovah God, I wouldn't be standing here."
