Participation in the religious activities of the association is based on a voluntary basis. Every member of the community has the right to leave it.
If, in your opinion, any illegal actions, including coercive measures on the part of the leadership of a religious association, each member of the community has the right to apply to law enforcement agencies, as well as, in accordance with the procedure established by law, to the court for the protection of violated or disputed constitutional rights, freedoms or interests protected by law.
