Excerpt:
A court in central Russia has fined a mosque cleric who called for prayers too early in the morning, thus disturbing children in their sleep.
The 500 rouble fine (approx $17) was imposed by a district court in the town of Orsk in Orenburg Region in the Southern Urals. The case has been forwarded to court after the cleric refused to comply with the decision of an administrative commission that had issued the same decision.
