Encourage Christian Prisoner Tohar Haydarov
Every week we like to share with you a person who is in prison because of their faith and stand for Jesus Christ. This week I'd like to remind you about Tohar Haydarov who is currently in a Uzbekistan prison for allegedly "selling narcotic or psychotropic substances in large quantities", however members of the church believe that he has been falsely accused and instead really been put in prison for his faith in Christ. It has been confirmed that he is serving a ten year sentence.
Sentence Confirmed; Prisoner Shown Letters
A judge recently confirmed Tohar's ten year prison sentence, for charges church members say are false. "The court correctly stated the criminal act of Tohar Haydarov, and the punishment was given in proportion to the act, taking into account the public danger of the act," the judge wrote.
Prison authorities recently showed Tohar some of the many letters sent to him, but he is not allowed to read them, because "there are too many citations from the Bible in them."
Please pray for Tohar and please take a moment today to write him a letter using our Prisoner Alert page. Right now we have recorded that 3842 letters have been written to Tohar, let's see if we can make that number rise to 5000. Please click here to write your letter now.
