February 24, Pozirk<\/em>. <\/strong>The Supreme Court will hear an appeal by imprisoned military analyst Andrej Parotnika\u016d on March 14, the electronic court schedule says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His trial concluded last November but authorities did not disclose the sentence. Parotnika\u016d faced charges of high treason, conspiracy to seize state power, association with an extremist group, facilitating extremism and interfering in elections which could have resulted in a prison term of up to 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to his arrest in March 2023 in Moscow and extradition to Belarus, Parotnika\u016d headed the Belarus Security Blog think tank. Rights groups consider his persecution to be politically motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka stripped Parotnika\u016d, a retired police officer, of his rank of captain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
