MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 05th July, 2021) Members of extremist groups have been detained in several Russian regions, including the Khabarovsk Territory where nationalists have been training to conduct violent crimes, the Investigative Committee said on Monday.
According to the committee, a 17-years old teenager was detained in the Bryansk region as part of a criminal case related to creating an "extremist community" with a far-right ideology.
"In addition, the investigative bodies of the regional committee in the Khabarovsk Territory and the Jewish Autonomous Region have decided to detain, as a preventive measure, four members of the extremist community, at the request of the investigation," the committee added.
