The abbot of the Lavra Arseniy remains in Dnipro detention center since April 24, 2024. The abbot of the Sviatogorsk Lavra of the UOC is accused that during the liturgy in September 2023, he allegedly announced information about the location of roadblocks of the Defense Forces in the Kramatorsk district of Donetsk region. Although in fact he was telling parishioners that on the eve of the big holiday, the Sobor of Svyatogorsk saints 15th anniversary of their canonization, a mass of pilgrims and volunteers with provisions and goods needed by the monastery were not allowed to enter the Lavra without any legal and reasonable reasons. The video of the sermon for which the priest is being tried, Judge Tatyana Haustova refused to view and is not familiar with it. After the Metropolitan was taken into custody, the Slavyansk court repeatedly refused to release him from the pre-trial detention center to house arrest, in fact using torture against the elderly priest.
