Ukraine had given Orthodox priests a deadline by which to leave certain monasteries. The priests refused to leave and now they are breaking in and arresting the Orthodox Priests. Ukrainian security forces break into a church full of parishioners in Chernivtsi in a chaotic scene.

The logic here is that these priests are Russian oriented by the Russian Ortodox Church but in reality no one really knows if everyone arrested is only Russian as there are other nationalities there. For example in the Cernivitsi region there are a lot of Romanians which are EU citisens. Cernauti in Romanian.

This is a violation of human rights since no court orders are given, no formal prosecution, no formal acusations...
