September 9, 2024
The three monks of the Monastery of Abakum are in a challenging position as their last lawyer has abandoned them before an important trial. If the rumors are confirmed, the monks will have to defend themselves without legal support. The charges they face include serious offenses, such as inappropriate sexual relations and exploitation of human suffering. There are concerns that the delays in the trial are due to strategies being employed by the monks.
