About 50 law enforcers raid Tangim Mosque

They explained their next raid conducted at the "Tangim" Mosque in Makhachkala as the "Debtor" operation. However, as usual, they wrote down believers' personal data. Despite law enforcers' regular raids and the threat of coronavirus infection, the attendance of the mosque has not dropped, the believers themselves have reported.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that law enforcers are regularly conducting their raids in the vicinity of the "Tangim" Mosque.

The "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told about the new law enforcers' raid near the "Tangim" Mosque by Idris Yusupov, a journalist.

According to his story, law enforcers stopped the cars leaving the mosque; their mobile posts were deployed in three places: on both sides of Omarov Street and at the exit along Gagarin Street. The total number of law enforcers was more than 50. "They explained that they were holding the 'Debtor' operation. They stopped people and wrote down their personal data," Mr Yusupov has stated, adding that despite the threat of coronavirus spread, there were no fewer parishioners in the mosque than usual.

The believers interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent expressed their readiness to come to the mosque, despite the threat of coronavirus infection spread.
