Investigator of the Department of Internal Affairs "Kstovsky", Captain of Justice E. A. Ryabkova initiates a criminal case for participation in the activities of an extremist organization.

Judge of the Kstovo City Court Sergey Evdokimov chooses a preventive measure in the form of detention for three detained married couples of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Andrey Mikholap and Vladimir Anufriyev are being held in double cells. There are three women together with Anastasia Anufrieva. The food in the pre-trial detention center is satisfactory.

The criminal case against the six believers is being transferred to the investigative unit of the Main Investigation Department of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Nizhny Novgorod Region. The investigation team is headed by the deputy head of the department, Yevgeniy Mokhnonogov.

The court once again extends the period of detention in the pre-trial detention center. The courtroom is the only place where spouses can see each other. All three couples have been under arrest for more than five months.

Anastasia Anufriyeva is in an 8-bed cell, 7 other women are being held there with her. The room is warm, there is water and a small refrigerator. In January, they were taken out for walks more often. The attitude of the cellmates and the staff of the pre-trial detention facility is generally friendly.

Anastasia has a Bible in the Synodal translation. The believer received 420 letters from relatives and caring people. This makes her happy and helps her not to lose heart.

Anastasia's chronic illness worsened. She needs medication, which she does not receive at the moment, despite the applications she has submitted.
