A Russian pastor has been arrested after criticizing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and urging believers not to participate in the conflict.

Nikolay Romanyuk, senior pastor of the Holy Trinity Pentecostal Church in Moscow Region, is the first religious figure to be charged under legislation that deters criticism of the authorities amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, reports the Norway-based human rights watchdog Forum 18. 

Pastor Romanyuk, who is facing charges under laws targeting public calls against state security, is currently being held at Investigation Prison No. 11 in Noginsk, located roughly 50 kilometers east of Moscow. Freedom Post.
