April 20, <\/strong>Pozirk.<\/strong> <\/em>Andrej D\u017amitryje\u016d, who ran for president in 2020, has been after serving his sentence that human rights defenders consider politically motivated, a source told Pozirk<\/em> on the condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u017amitryje\u016d, 42, has been in detention since January 11, 2023. Shortly after his arrest, the Investigative Committee said he had participated in post-election “riots” in Minsk and had “crossed Belarus’ state border 599 times, including 33 times since 2020.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators claimed that D\u017amitryje\u016d’s contacts with people in the West testified to foreign coordination of his political activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 6, 2023, Minsk Judge Kaciaryna Mura\u0161ka sentenced the politician to a year and a half in prison for allegedly disturbing public order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka’s election commission, D\u017amitryje\u016d received just over one percent of the vote in the 2020 election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The politician was a member of the Our Party organizing committee and co-chairman of the “Tell the Truth!” movement dissolved by authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August 2021, D\u017amitryje\u016d was briefly detained amid a crackdown on media and NGOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 2010 presidential election, he managed the campaign of opposition candidate U\u0142adzimir Niaklaje\u016d. In May 2011, a Minsk judge imposed a two-year suspended sentence on him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
