The prosecutors also demanded that the accused pay 30 million rubels (some $11 million) for property damage.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t In May 2022, Belarusian authorities sentenced Sapega to six years in prison for allegedly administering a Telegram channel that exposed the identities of law enforcement officers who brutalized and tortured peaceful protesters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 15, BPN.
