Nikita Yemelyanov is the anarchist political prisoner who has been held in captivity longer than anyone else in Belarus. Nikita was detained in 2019 for solidarity actions with the political prisoners of that time. He carried out symbolic acts of direct action to express his position and draw the attention of Belarusian society to political repression. One of these actions was a Molotov cocktail thrown at the door of pre-trial detention centre SIZO-1 on Valadarskaha Street. Destroy the prisons! Freedom for political prisoners! Freedom for Nikita Yemelyanov!
