Write a letter

A resident of Moscow or the Moscow suburbs. On 5 December 2024, a search took place at his home. Presumably, force was used against him. After the search, Murtuzov was detained and placed in custody. He was charged with participation and involvement in the activities of an extremist organisation in connection with his involvement in the Jehovah's Witnesses community. Representatives of this community are prosecuted under extremist articles solely because of their religious activities - holding meetings and services and attracting new supporters.
As it turned out in court, the key witness in the case testified at the investigation under a false name - under a passport issued to her by the FSB officers so that she could participate in operational-search activities.
