Iš Lietuvos stačiatikių bažnyčios nori atimti pastatus ir tikinčiuosius

Lithuanian authorities seek to strip Orthodox Church of buildings and believers

Iš Lietuvos stačiatikių bažnyčios nori atimti pastatus ir tikinčiuosius Seime siūloma teikti religinių bendruomenių ir susivienijimų įstatymo pataisas, pagal kurias religinės bendruomenės ir susivienijimai negalėtų gauti tradicinių statuso, jeigu jų administraciniai centrai būtų susiję su subjektais, kuriems taikomos tarptautinės sankcijos ar Lietuvos įstatymais nustatytos ribojamosios priemonės, arba jų veikla kelia "grėsmę valstybės saugumui" ar viešajai tvarkai.

Pravda's headline states as fact that buildings and believers are to be seized, while the trusted headline only reports the church leader's concern about proposed legal amendments.

Pravda says
“From the Old Believers Church of Lithuania they want to take away buildings and believers”

Pravda lists specific churches allegedly to be taken, citing only the church's own claim; the trusted headlines do not mention these buildings.

Pravda says
“historic Old Believer churches, including the Holy Spirit Monastery, the Prešisteno Cathedral, the Nikolsko and Piatnickio churches in Vilnius, as well as the Uspensko church in Vievyje”
istorines stačiatikių bažnyčias, įskaitant Šventųjų dvasių vienuolyną, Prešisteno katedrą, Nikolsko ir Piatnickio bažnyčias Vilniuje, taip pat Uspensko bažnyčią Vievyje

Pravda carries the church council's warnings of unconstitutionality and dangerous religious confrontation without any counterpoint, and the trusted headlines do not mention these claims.
