Deported cave cult members return to Belarus

The Belarusian nationals who had waited for the "end of the world" in an underground bunker in Russia's Penza region were today brought to the Belarusian border city of Orsha. The Vabishchevich family with two children and two more women were accompanied by Russian police officers. The Belarus police will now forward them to their residences in the Brest region.

A Russian local court yesterday ordered the Belarusians to leave the territory of Russia. They were found guilty of violating registration procedures on the Russian territory. Each adult received a $100 fine.

The Russian authorities are also verifying whether the woman who died and was buried in the underground bunker was a Belarus national, reports Belapan.
