"This is at least the Order of the Red Banner. I'm proud of it!"
The wife of a Sverdlovsk preacher Eduard Charov shared with NeMoskva her emotions in connection with her husband being labeled a terrorist and extremist.
Information about this appeared on the Rosfinmonitoring website.
Preacher Eduard Charov is known for founding a shelter for the homeless in a village in Sverdlovsk Savinovo и proposed It was a shelter for those who fled conscription. He is currently a suspect in a criminal case for justifying terrorism: it instituted for an unfortunate joke about setting a military registration and enlistment office on fire. The preacher's wife told NeMoskva that the court banned him from communicating with journalists and using the internet.
Commenting on the announcement that her husband had been labelled a terrorist and extremist, she said:
"He's very happy about this news; he's got at least the Order of the Red Banner to say it. I'm proud of him!"
According to her, the court will hear the criminal case approximately in June. Her husband will likely be jailed.
Being listed as a terrorist hasn't affected our family's life in any way. We've been persecuted for three years now, so it's one more article, one less... As the Baptists say, it doesn't affect our Salvation! – Charov’s wife stated.
The shelter remains open and will continue to rescue "people abandoned by the church and the state." It currently houses four people, with limited admission for now.
Security forces began to persecute Eduard Charov since the spring of last year. He has already fined for "discrediting the army" and "inciting hatred"
Now his bank accounts will be blocked and he will only be allowed to withdraw 10 rubles in cash per month.
