In September 2021, Dmitriy was convicted and sentenced to three years in prison for participating in religious meetings of Jehovah’s Witnesses. While serving his prison sentence, a fellow inmate asked Dmitriy questions about the Bible. He also asked for help to quit smoking. It was later revealed that their conversations had been recorded as part of a sting operation. Authorities used the recordings to accuse Dmitriy of spreading “extremist” views, leading to a second criminal charge in April 2023. Notably, this is the first time a Russian court has criminally tried one of Jehovah’s Witnesses for discussing the Bible while in prison since the ban was imposed in 2017. Subsequently, instead of being released after completing his prison term in September 2024, the court ordered that Dmitriy be transferred to a pretrial detention center to await the outcome of this second trial.

I related this experience to one of the inmates in our local prison where we do prison witnessing. He was speechless.

It's really time that this world gets the spanking it deserves, and especially Russia
