Religious rights group Open Doors has confirmed that Dmitry was able to see his mother before her death. He is said to be in good spirits – but suffering from heart and liver problems and high blood pressure.
Pastor Dmitry, who is part of the legally registered Full Gospel Church in Andijan, was arrested on January 21, 2007, over 'illegal religious activities'. In March that year, he was charged under criminal law.'
