Russian officials' efforts to curtail religious freedom continued on February 28, 2019, in the cities of Nefteyugansk and Pyt-Yakh (Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Area - Yugra), located near Surgut, as searches were held in the homes of citizens suspected of practicing the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses. A 37-year-old Aleksander Nikanorov, the father of a 7-month-old baby, was detained in Pyt-Yakh, but he was released after interrogation.
