We are talking about 20 defendants who, in June last year, the prosecutor's office accused of obstructing a Greek Catholic and Orthodox Ukrainian procession in Przemysl, the participants of which, after a memorial service for UPA militants, walked through the city streets to the Ukrainian military cemetery.
According to the prosecutor's office, “the defendants interfered with a public religious act, insulted the participants of the solemn procession about their nationality and forcibly stopped the participants of the procession at the beginning of the procession.”
