Pastor Dmitry Shestakov, who was given a four year labour camp sentence for his religious activity on March 9 (click here for details), has been transferred to a closed labour camp in the city of Navoi to serve the rest of his sentence. According to a June 12 report from Forum 18, the harsher punishment was handed down to Shestakov during a criminal court trial on May 25. Authorities claim it is the result of Shestakov's misbehaviour in an open work camp. The court was told that he would not "repent for the crime he has committed."
