February 13, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Former political prisoner Siarhiej Piatruchin has been evacuated from Belarus, BYSOL Foundation co-founder and human rights defender Andrej Stry\u017eak said on Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was a complicated, long and stressful evacuation, but I am happy to announce that everything worked out,\u201d Stry\u017eak said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brest residents Siarhiej Piatruchin and Alaksandar Kabana\u016d, who run the Narodnyy Reporter<\/em> (People\u2019s Reporter) project on YouTube, were arrested in June 2020 on different grounds. Authorities later implicated them in the events in Hrodna on May 29, when Siarhiej Cichano\u016dski and members of his team were arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 14, 2021, a district court in Mahilo\u016d found them guilty of breaking Criminal Code Article 342, which bans organizing or participating in gross violations of public order, and Article 369 (insulting a state servant). In addition, Piatruchin was found guilty of breaking Article 391 (insulting a judge). They were sentenced to three years in a minimum-security penal colony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Piatruchin served his sentence in Viciebsk\u2019s Penal Colony No. 3. Kabana\u016d was detained in Navapo\u0142ack\u2019s Penal Colony No. 1 until the authorities tightened his regime. He was released from Mahilo\u016d\u2019s Prison No. 4 in December 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His fellow blogger saw freedom the same month. Kabana\u016d soon fled Belarus, and now works in a union of former law enforcers, BelPol.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
