	Description:	"Doukhobors" Radical Sect Stages Weird Protest Rites. In weird rites, the religious sects set fire to their homes and farm buildings in protest against third war they believe imminent. Many are jailed for nudist practices accompanying the rituals. The Doukhobors are a group of Russian language-speaking religious dissenters who migrated to Canada in 1899. They had been persecuted in tsarist Russia for their religious beliefs. The only symbols Dokhobors commonly recognize are those of bread, salt and water, the basic elements needed to sustain life.
