Authorities sell opposition leader’s Minsk apartment at auction
July 27, BPN. Belarusian authorities have sold the Minsk apartment of exiled opposition leader Śviatłana Cichanoŭskaja and her husband, e-auction.by, a website selling confiscated properties, reported.
The two-bedroom apartment at Independence Avenue was sold after two previous unsuccessful attempts at a price of 203,687 rubels (about $67,724) to one of the two bidders.
The auction organizers noted that several persons are still registered at the apartment as residents, including legal minors yet this restriction “will be lifted by the enforcement department after the sale of the lot.”
The apartment has been on sale since February 2023. Cichanoŭskaja described its confiscation as “looting and banditry” at that time.
In December 2021, her husband, former presidential hopeful Siarhiej Cichanoŭski, was sentenced to 18 years in prison on charges widely seen as trumped-up and politically motivated.
