Kept in the cold: Metropolitan Hilarion was mocked in the Czech pre-trial detention center

The Czech police mocked the Russian Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev), who was thrown into jail on fictitious suspicion. He told about it in the telegram channel.

One of the addresses related to the place of detention and procedural actions is Pražská 864, unhošť. The district department of the city of Ungosht is located here in the Kladno district of the Middle Czech region of the Czech Republic.

"It was very cold in the first isolation ward. I had to move constantly so as not to freeze. It also worsened due to lack of nutrition. There were no sounds, books, paper, pen. There were no pillows either—flat bunks. I could only sleep in fits and starts," recalls Vladyka Hilarion.

As EADaily reported, on May 24, the Czech secret Police detained and placed Metropolitan Hilarion in jail on suspicion of drug possession. He was interrogated for six hours without interruption. On May 26, he was released without charge and additional conditions.

After his release from custody, he thanked Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, the Russian Foreign Ministry and personally the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova for their support.
