      On April 9, 2026, the head of the SIZO-5 (Yekaterinburg) and his deputy were awarded the "Bronze Crescent" medal for strengthening interfaith relations. This was reported on Thursday by the press service of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia for the Sverdlovsk region.

      A working meeting between the head of the institution, Denis Kosov, and a representative of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Sverdlovsk region took place on Wednesday, April 8, at SIZO-5.

      The head of SIZO-5, Denis Kosov, and his deputy were awarded the "Bronze Crescent" medals for their contribution to strengthening interfaith and interethnic tolerance, according to the press service's statement.

      Issues related to the organization of work on spiritual and moral education and upbringing of individuals in places of deprivation of liberty were discussed.

      The meeting participants agreed on the prospects for further cooperation in ensuring the convicts' right to freedom of conscience and religion, as well as conducting regular educational work.

      Conditions are being created in SIZO-5 for conducting religious rituals. Clergy provide spiritual care for the convicts, conduct activities for religious education, and explain the canons of traditional faith.

      It is worth noting that in October of last year, the Sverdlovsk ombudsman, Tatyana Merzlyakova, visited SIZO-5. Her visit was related to a complaint from one of the detainees to the Human Rights Council (HRC) about special conditions allegedly created in the SIZO for Muslim men who were placed in a former women's special institution. Following the visit, the information that a "prison jamaat" had emerged in SIZO-5 was not confirmed, reported the Sverdlovsk ombudsman to the HRC.
