June 24, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Andrej Juchnievi\u010d, rector of the church of Our Lady of F\u00e1tima in \u0160umilina, Viciebsk region, was given another jail term for an alleged minor offence for the fourth time in a row two days ago, katolik.life<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exact charges against him are unknown. Juchnievi\u010d is reportedly allowed to receive only medicines parcels behind bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was arrested on May 8 along with his colleague Pavie\u0142 Lemiech on suspicion of subversive activity against the Belarusian state, following the Viciebsk diocese church meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lemiech was released after serving 10 days in jail, while Juchnievi\u010d has already spent more than 45 days behind bars. His current jail term expires on July 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both are known as the Missionaries Oblates of Mary Immaculate, a Catholic congregation founded in the early 19th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least 26 Roman Catholic clerics and believers have been persecuted in Belarus for political reasons since 2020, according to the Chry\u015bcijanskaja Vizija<\/em> group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
