September 10, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Jailed regime critic Andrei Podnebenny was found hanged on September 3 in a solitary confinement cell, Valentina Podnebennaya said on Odnoklassniki, suggesting that her son\u2019s suicide may have been staged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman said revenge over a burned car could have been a possible motive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four years ago, judge Anatol Sotnika\u016d sentenced Podnebenny to 15 years in prison on extremism- and terrorism-related charges for allegedly setting fire to the car of a senior police official, puncturing the tires of 39 trolleybuses and running an opposition Telegram channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides Podnebenny, several other designated political prisoners died in recent years behind bars, including Vitold A\u0161urak, Mika\u0142aj Klimovi\u010d, Ale\u015b Pu\u0161kin, Vadzim Chra\u015bko, Ihar Lednik, Alaksandar Kulini\u010d, Dmitry Shletgauer and Valancin \u0160termier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On September 10, human rights defenders identified at least 1,194 political prisoners but the real number is considerably higher because of many undocumented cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
