Nearly 50 armed people burst into the mosque in the village of Molodizhne (Simferopol district, Crimea), where people were praying, and ordered parish to come to the police office, said President's Envoy for Crimean Tatars Mustafa Jemilev.

"It was reported that nearly 30-50 armed people suddenly burst into the mosque in the village of Molodizhne of Simferopol district after a Friday prayer. As lawyer Emil Kurbedinov said, Muslims were ordered to come to the police office on their own," Jemilev wrote on Facebook on Friday.

For his part, Kurbedinov wrote on Facebook that armed people made an attempt to bring over 100 Muslims in the unknown direction, though soon they let them go.
