One of Jehovah’s Witnesses From Chekhov Deprived of the Bible in Jail. His Health Also Worsened
Moscow RegionYuri Krutyakov, an elderly believer from Chekhov near Moscow, who has been languishing in a pre-trial detention center for a month, has deteriorated health. After his arrest, the Holy Scriptures were taken away from him.
67-year-old Yuriy Krutyakov was arrested on March 4, 2020 on suspicion of extremism. Now he is placed in Moscow pre-trial detention center No. 4, in a special unit for especially dangerous criminals. Yuriy suffers from a number of serious diseases of internal organs, he has undergone several operations, including on the eye, as a result of which his vision problems have become sharply complicated.
Living conditions and food in the pre-trial detention center do not contribute to the recovery of the believer. Although Yuri is not discouraged, he intends to petition for proper medical care.
Meanwhile, Yuri was deprived of the Bible, from which he could previously draw consolation. The Holy Scriptures were seized for verification, and so far the book has not been returned to the believer.
