We heard from Sergei today, the young man we wrote about in our newsletter who is in prison. He called Svetlana, our daily director of the center from a cell phone. What? Called from a cell phone? In prison? Yes, Ukrainian prisons have some conveniences. Apparently, a cell phone is made available so prisoners can call quickly to ask for the person called to call them back. Sergei was greatly appreciative Helen and I were at the court during his trial, he didn't expect anyone to show up, thought everyone would be angry or wouldn't care. He told us to tell all of you who are praying for him a big thanks, as it means so much to him. Sergei also related that he wished he had listened to Svetlana and us and realizes he made a big mistake. We can't visit him until he is moved from the holding center to one of the regional prisons. We hope it is nearby Kiev; it could be anywhere in the country, depending on the type of prison (strict regime, light regime) to which he is assigned. At the holding center he is in a cell with 50, yes 50 other men. But this seems to be a normal practice in the prison system. Continue to keep him in your prayers, especially so he will not get the drug-resistant TB very prevalent in the prisons and of course, to be safe from violence.
