May 25, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Jailed anarchist activist Siarhiej Ramana\u016d was given 18 months in prison on disobedience charges, which increased his prison term to 24 years and five months, the AChK-Belarus<\/em> Telegram channel reports.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramana\u016d was found guilty on similar charges twice in the past. The authorities routinely use the pretext of disobedience to keep prominent critics behind bars longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arrested in late 2020, Ramana\u016d was convicted in a high-profile case targeting anarchist activists accused of arson of service vehicles and police offices in the Homiel region. His original sentence amounted to 20 years in prison. Rights groups consider his persecution to be politically motivated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activist has been recently placed in a closed prison and was banned from drawing. Prison administration of the Penal Colony No 11 in the Hrodna region\u2019s Va\u016dkavysk reportedly keeps seizing his letters containing artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
