April 19, Pozirk<\/em>. <\/strong>The Belarusian Investigative Committee has filed criminal charges of inciting hatred and insulting officials against Juryj Ka\u010dura, an exiled opposition activist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police arrested him for unknown reasons in October 2020. Ka\u010dura was reportedly tortured and beaten at the Akre\u015bcina pre-trial detention center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man was not able to find a job after his release and was arrested again a few months later as riot police stormed his apartment. Ka\u010dura left Belarus and moved to Vilnius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The committee said it began special proceedings against him, targeting those living abroad and evading contact with investigators, and allowing authorities to prosecute and try exiled opponents in their absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Investigative Committee has already filed criminal charges against more than 90 exiled activists under special proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Committee for State Security (KGB) has its own list of people it persecutes in absentia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amendments listing 34 offenses and allowing for investigations and trials in absentia came into effect in July 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
