A surveillance camera video near a mosque in the village of Kozet in the Takhtamukaysky District of Adygea was published on social media.
The video shows an unknown man approaching the fence and placing a pig’s head on the fence spike near the gate. He then records his actions with a phone and leaves.
The Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Republic of Adygea and Krasnodar Krai condemned the incident and called it a provocation. They stated the reason for such an act was an attempt to disrupt interethnic and interfaith harmony in society.
The administration also noted that the Adyghe people, like all Russians, are strong in their unity, and called on Muslims of the republic and Krasnodar Krai not to succumb to provocations and to remain vigilant.
“Law enforcement agencies are investigating the incident, and the situation is under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Adygea and the republic’s authorities,” reported the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Republic of Adygea and Krasnodar Krai.
