Russian blogger stuck to Pokémon GO

A Russian blogger threatens to disappear behind the bars because he played Pokémon GO in a church.

Last year, the blogger shared a video on how to play the smartphone game in a church in Yekaterinburg. He compared Jesus Christ with a character from the game. Sokolovsky also said in the video that he was just playing in a church because he had seen the news that it was punishable.

The Russian Public Prosecutor's Office turned out to agree. Shortly after the release of the video a criminal case was launched. A prosecutor said Friday, according to TASS press office, did not show any attenuating circumstances. 'There is no reason to impose a fine on him. I ask the court to send him to a penal colony for 3.5 years. '
