A mosque was desecrated in the Perm region

Vandals painted a mosque in the Perm Territory with crosses and swastikas.  

On May 9, 2015, in Berezniki, Perm Territory, unidentified people painted entrance to the mosque with black crosses. On the other side of the five-story building, part which the mosque occupies, the vandals drew a swastika.

According to the imam-mukhtasib Rafagat Safin, the images appeared on the evening of May 9, because they were not there during the day. The clergyman turned to the police.
