Charity News Online

Authorities in Russia’s Siberian coal-mining Kemerovo Region ordered temporary closure of five charities, after a probe conducted by local registrar officials detected violations of law on charitable activity by those groups.

A local official in charge of affairs of religious and public organizations, Lilia Serebrennikova, told Regnum news agency, that the checks had been carried out into financial reporting submitted by those groups.

As of January 1, as many as 40 charitable foundations were active in the region.

Serebrennikova said the violations detected were not grave, adding that the groups will be able to resume operations once they take measures to eliminate those violations.
