Doukhobors Ask Soviet Union to Move Sect to Russia
The Vancouver Province reports that 2,500 Sons of Freedom Doukhobors seek permission from the Soviet government to relocate the entire sect to Russia. The radical group has long clashed with authorities in British Columbia over provincial laws, with past protests including violence and nude parades.

Move to Russia linked to detention of Freedomite children
Rumors of Freedomite families moving to Russia follow claims of over 100 Freedomite children held in a New Denver school after parents refused compulsory attendance. The Province attributes much blame to the Communist press Vestnik in Toronto for stirring support and suggesting a hidden hand in Canada targeting Doukhobors. The dispute over compulsory schooling of Freedomite children has long pitted the group against British Columbia authorities.
