BySol raises nearly €7,000 for media manager diagnosed with cancer after years behind bars

October 29, Pozirk. The BySol Solidarity Foundation has collected more than €6,872 in public donations for media manager Kanstancin Załatych, a Poland-based former political prisoner who has been diagnosed with cancer.
BySol launched the fundraiser, asking for €4,500, on October 28, after the 57-year-old Załatych appealed for help, saying that while he receives free medical treatment in Poland, he cannot cover his family’s living expenses because of ill health and frequent hospitalizations.
Kanstancin Załatych, who was then director of the independent newspaper Belorusy i Rynok, was arrested in May 2022. In April 2023, a judge in Minsk sentenced him to four years in prison on charges of inciting social hatred and insulting an official.
Załatych was released in October 2025 upon completion of his term and moved to Warsaw in December.
