problems in Uzbekistan

I just got news from Samarkand, Uzbekistan, that one of
our pastors has been arrested last Thursday.
Pastor Rishat , who was visiting the Samarkand church
from Almaty, was stopped on the street and checked
by the police. They found a couple of Christian booklets
in his bag and arrested him immediately.
We were expecting him to be released after three days
as they are accustomed to do.
Now it’s almost a week later and we haven’t heard
anything about him or his whereabouts.
Please, keep the situation in prayer as we continue
pursuing his release.
