The official did not specify how long he spent there.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t Adamovi\u010d had not received any news from her husband for 95 days. She fears that he may held in solitary confinement again.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t &#8220;Thirty-six penalties, 14 of them in solitary confinement,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He was once again punished with six months in a one-person cell. . . This means that he is in a dungeon 24\/7 with a 30-minute daily walk in a similar dungeon if he is not in the punishment cell.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t The politician is not allowed to receive parcels and his wife has not received any letters from him, although prison authorities assured her of timely handling of correspondence.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t On February 1, the UN Human Rights Committee confirmed that it had received Statkievi\u010d\u2019s appeal against violations of his rights. About a month later, authorities would not allow the politician\u2019s lawyer to see him citing a missing visit request.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t On May 5, the Swiss-German human rights group Libereco presented a report on politically-motivated persecution in Belarus. It cites the March report by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights describing some of the human rights violations in the country as possible crimes against humanity.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t Police arrested Statkievi\u010d, leader of the Belarusian Social Democratic Party (Hramada), in Minsk in late May 2020. In December 2021, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison for allegedly staging \u201cmass riots.\u201d A year later, the interior ministry added his name to the register of persons involved in extremist activities.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t Belarusian human rights groups insist his persecution is politically motivated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 16, BPN.
