A correspondent for the Caucasian Knot website learned about this from unofficial sources. The letter cites facts of violation of the rights of believers by law enforcement agencies even before the events of October 13 - illegal detentions, beatings, closure of mosques. The letter was sent to the dean of the Orthodox churches of Kabardino-Balkaria, Valentin Bobylev. The leaders of the Patriarchate have been talking for more than a year that the church is ready to take on human rights functions - this is an opportunity to show itself in action.
