Mikhail Tuaev, senior investigator of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, initiates a criminal case against 26-year-old Sabina Albegova for participating in meetings for worship.
A search is underway in the apartment of the parents of Sabina Albegova's husband.
During the interrogation, psychological pressure is exerted on Sabina for her to admit being guilty.
The Sovetskiy District Court of Vladikavkaz imposes a preventive measure on Sabina Albegova — pretrial detention. A large number of people gather near the building. When the believer is taken out of court, those present support her by applauding.
Sabina Albegova is being held in a cell with another woman. There are no insects or rats. Sabina goes for walks. She can take a shower twice a week. The staff in the pretrial detention center treat the believer politely and tactfully. Many are perplexed as to why she is in detention.
Sabina's husband took her a Bible, which she has not yet received. The believer has received several letters from friends.
Sabina shares the cell with two women and they have a good relationship. The cell is light and warm. For 5 days, the believer was not taken for walks. The yard is an area covered with slate, so the sky is not visible, and air enters only through the cracks.
The criminal case is submitted to the Sovetskiy District Court of Vladikavkaz, Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. It will be considered by Judge German Pliyev.
Sabina Albegova has a Bible in Russian and Ossetian. She receives many letters.
At the end of January, Sabina had a visit from her husband, and her sister also visited. Prisoners are taken out for walks every day. The believer buys food in the store of the detention center and also receives parcels.
