Case in Kingisepp

Andrey Morozov, Sergey Ryabokon and Kirill Khabrik are placed in pre-trial detention center No. 6 in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.

It turns out that Igor Zhmyrev is in pre-trial detention center No. 1 "Kresty" in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region. He was arrested on February 21.

Security forces conduct 6 new searches in Kingisepp, after which 11 believers are taken for interrogation. Igor Shevlyuga, Miroslav Sabodash, Konstance Vovk, Tatyana Stepanova and Aleksandr Vaganov are detained and placed in a temporary detention facility.

Vovk, Sabodash, Stepanova and Vaganov are banned from certain actions, and Shevlyuga is placed in pre-trial detention center No. 1 in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.

Igor Zhmyrev is being held in a 6-bed cell. Due to his poor health, Igor needs regular medication. Other prisoners smoke constantly, because of this, the believer's allergy to tobacco smoke has worsened. Zhmyrev twice wrote applications asking to be transferred to a non-smoking cell, but he never received a response. Although Igor receives many letters, they are not given to him.

Kirill Khabrik, once in jail, fell ill, but soon recovered. In general, his condition is normal. He is being held in a large cell for 60 people. The believer receives letters of support.

The court releases Igor Shevlyuga from the pre-trial detention center under a ban on certain actions. The believer spent 26 days in prison.

The court releases Kirill Khabrik from the pre-trial detention center and sends him under house arrest.

Andrey Morozov and Sergey Ryabokon are transferred to the Kresty pre-trial detention center (Kolpino) for psychological examination.

An appeal overturns the court's decision to arrest Sergei Ryabokon and sends it for review to the Primorsky District Court of St. Petersburg.

Igor Zhmyrev is kept in a 6-bed cell, he has his own bed, relations with his cellmates are normal. They are surprised by the number of letters Igor receives, especially from strangers. He has already received about 400 letters, and he also has a Bible.

Igor has been diagnosed with thyroid and stomach diseases, needs a thorough examination and is worried about sudden weight loss (he has lost 15 kg since March 2023). He has repeatedly written applications to the therapist for the provision of special meals, but while the therapist is on vacation, special meals are not provided to him. He is rescued by parcels that his wife gives him twice a month, but this is still not enough.

Andrey Morozov and Sergey Ryabokon do not experience significant health problems. They regularly receive parcels and letters. Andrey has already received about 500 letters, and Sergey has received about 1000. Both have the opportunity to read the Bible.

Andrey worries about his wife, who is hard to bear separation from him. He did not receive a response to the application for a non-smoking cell.

Sergey, after being transferred to another cell, rejoices in the opportunity to watch sunsets from the window. He tries to play sports: he runs, does push-ups. He says that he feels better that way.

On August 9 and 30, Ryabokon and Morozov, respectively, underwent a psychological and psychiatric examination, previously appointed by the investigator.

The court releases Sergey Ryabokon from the pre-trial detention center, changing his measure of restraint to a ban on certain actions. Kirill Khabrik's house arrest is extended until February 18, 2024.

The Primorsky District Court of St. Petersburg changes Kirill Khabrik's preventive measure to a ban on certain actions. The believer is forbidden to communicate with the defendants in the case, use telephone communications and the Internet, as well as attend public events.

The court extends the ban on certain actions for Sergei Ryabokon, but lifts the ban on leaving the house from 21:00 to 07:00.
