SEYDI, Turkmenistan — Baptist prisoner of conscience Vyacheslav Kalataevsky — who is on a three-year labor camp sentence — has been moved to a harsher labor camp in Seydi, Turkmenistan, Forum 18 News Service reported July 3. The camp is 750 miles from his family home, and armed guards with machine guns denied the opportunity for the family to see him.
