On July 18, 2012, the Department of the Ministry of Justice for the Primorsky Territory issued a warning to the Kazyyat Department of Muslims of Primorye about violating the law “On meetings, rallies, demonstrations and pickets.”
The ministry warned Muslims that holding prayers on the streets of Vladivostok (even in the immediate vicinity of a mosque, but on city land) must be coordinated with the administration.
The initiators of the ministerial proceedings were complaints from residents of houses on Shepetkova Street, who contacted the department with complaints about holding namaz “under their windows or directly on the road.”
