For the clergy, journalists who are imprisoned and Orthodox lawyers are especially praying near the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. This is reported by the Save_Lavra Telegram channel.
On 11 April, during the prayer stand, the priest offered prayers for Metropolitan Paul, Archpriest Sergiy, journalists Volodymyr, Valeriy, Andriy and all the servants of God who are "incarcerated".
The faithful also prayed for the brethren of the monastery and Orthodox lawyers.
The clergy asked the Lord to keep them intact from all sorrow, distress, need, mental and bodily illnesses and to grant them His mercy.
As the UOJ reported, the court left the UOJ journalist in custody in the pre-trial detention centre.
