Cousin of Kalinoŭski Regiment’s officer gets three years in prison
April 28, BPN. The Minsk City Court has sentenced Siarhiej Frančuk to three years in prison, the Viasna Human Rights Center reported.
Judge Jaŭhien Pisarevič found him guilty of inciting hatred, participating in protests, and insulting Alaksandr Łukašenka and public officials.
Frančuk is a cousin of Vadzim Kabančuk, a deputy commander of the Kastuś Kalinoŭski Regiment formed of Belarusian volunteers in Ukraine in March 2022. Its stated mission is to liberate Belarus by defending Ukraine.
Belarusian investigators opened criminal cases against fighters associated with the regiment.
The interior ministry said in March that it had identified almost 200 Belarusians fighting in Ukraine.
