October 8, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Homiel’s \u010cyhuna\u010dny District Court will consider an amnesty request for political prisoner Alena Hna\u016dk on October 10, Viasna Homiel reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judge Mika\u0142aj Krupadziora\u016d will preside over the proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is yet unclear why the trial will take place at the \u010cyhuna\u010dny District Court of Homiel if Alena Hna\u016dk’s last known place of detention was Colony No. 24 for reconvicted offenders in the Re\u010dyca district,” the human rights group said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It added that relatives could not pass the necessary medications to her that in May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hna\u016dk is a community activist from Pru\u017eany, Brest region. She was arrested in January 2022 and later sentenced to 3.5 years behind bars for online comments. The judge found her guilty of libeling the head of state and discrediting Belarus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April 2023, Homiel’s \u010cyhuna\u010dny court added one year to her sentence for “malicious disobedience” to the correctional facility administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 67-year old was serving her sentence at Zare\u010d\u010da’s Penal Colony No. 24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 26, media reported that Hna\u016dk’s daughter Alaksandra Siemianiuk fled abroad with three children fearing political persecution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
