Back Home After 97 Days in Jail

On October 8, 2012 my friend Sherzod was put to jail. The verdict of the court was to put him to prison for 3 years 10 months and 2 days. His wife and his two daughters did not expect such a severe court decision.

It was very cold in the cell. The food and the atmosphere was far from ideal. He was far from home and his family was not able to visit him often. There were other 17 prisoners with him in the room. Earlier, in 2011 Sherzod was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma and has gone through chemotherapy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodgkin's_lymphoma

Many people prayed  for his release and God has answered. On December 5, 2012 the Parliament has signed an amnesty decree to free Sherzod. After that he and his family waited for his release every day. I can't even imagine how long these days have been for them. 

Finally, on January 15, 2013 at 8 pm Sherzod was allowed to go home.What a happy day it was. We wanted to celebrate and commemorate this day! And we did. It was the first time he was able to take a shower and eat a decent meal.We were so happy to meet Sherzod after he was in jail for 97 days. 

Now he is back home with his family. He still needs to pay a fine of 2,000,000 soum, which is about $ 800. Please, pray that we would be able to pay that. You can help by clicking "Donate" button below. Any amount is appreciated. Thank you for your prayers and support!
