Russian blogger Ruslan Sokolovsky is on trial in Yekaterinburg, Russia for allegedly playing Pokémon Go inside a church.
The Russian Orthodox Church reportedly said the alleged provocative nature of the video led to Sokolovsky’s prosecution rather than the act of playing Pokémon Go.
The Pokémon Go app launched in select countries including the United States on July 6, and has since launched in more than 50 countries.
The now 22-year-old blogger reportedly posted a video on August 11, which showed him playing the game inside the Church of All Saints.
