Journalist Dabravolski’s detention extended

November 26, Pozirk. Belarusian authorities extended the pre-trial detention of journalist Pavieł Dabravolski, accused of high treason in connection with his professional activities, until December 22.
Dabravolski was arrested on January 22, ten days after his 35th birthday. He may face up to 15 years’ imprisonment.
In late August, the human rights community declared him a political prisoner.
The journalist had worked for the BelaPAN media company before the KGB branded it an “extremist group” in November 2021.
In October 2020, he was arrested in Minsk and jailed for 15 days.
According to Dabravolski’s social media, after leaving Belarus at the end of 2021, he traveled around the world. In October 2024, he returned to Minsk.
At least 28 media workers are held behind bars in Belarus, according to the Belarusian Association of Journalists.
