On 30 June 1980, Anatoly SARBAYEV (CCE 51.8, CCE 53.12 & CCE 55.2-4) was arrested in Kuibyshev.

A short while before, Sarbayev was interrogated by the KGB, who demanded that he renounce his views, repent, and testify against Ryzhov-Davydov (CCE 51.8, CCE 53.12 & CCE 55.2-4).

No warrant was shown when Sarbayev was arrested. His wife was only informed that he had been arrested two days later. The wives of Sarbayev, Bebko (CCE 51.8, CCE 53.12 & CCE 55.2-4) and Ryzhov-Davydov are constantly being summoned to the KGB. They have been told that they will not be able to ‘work normally’.
