Biography

Sabina Albegova was born in January 1999 in Vladikavkaz. Her mother has worked as a pharmacist for many years. Her parents divorced when Sabina was a teenager. She has two older sisters.

Since childhood, Sabina did folk dancing and sang in the choir. She had these hobbies for years. Sabina graduated from the medical academy and finished her training in cardiology. After working as a physiotherapist for a year, she got a job as a cardiologist in a clinic, where she was working until her arrest.

For a long time and without success, Sabina searched in different religions for answers to life's questions. "When I was studying medicine, I came to the conclusion that there must be an intelligent Creator behind the amazing structure of the body," Sabina recalls. "I started studying the Bible and quickly realized that I had found the truth." Soon she was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Sabina met her future husband Magamed through mutual friends. In October 2022, they got married. Magamed is a welder by profession; he likes football. The couple often watch music shows and sing together.

Sabina described the reaction of her relatives to the unexpected criminal prosecution: "At first, my family was shocked. But when they saw the care and love that my friends surrounded me with, they became calm. My relatives see God's hand in my life."

In October, the Investigative Committee opened a case against Albegova herself - she was accused of participating in meetings for worship, detained and sent to a pre-trial detention center.
