Send a letter

Andrey is 36 years old. In 2020, he worked at the Etazhi real estate agency. The man has a small daughter.

According to pro-government telegram channels, he himself wrote to the Black Book of Belarus and offered to drop the addresses of security forces involved in the repressions. Andrei did not know that on the other side, GUBOPiK employee Artur Gaiko was answering him.

Andrey was detained on November 10, 2023. He now faces up to 12 years in prison.

The man has been using the same account since 2019. From it he “leaked” information into the Black Book of Belarus, and from it he wrote comments in open chats and groups. The video shows his archived username from the ChKB bot database, which was saved by Arthur Gaiko. Through it you can find the current name of the telegram account and ID.

Once the sentence takes effect, you can only write letters to the prisoner. Under Art. 85 of the Penal Code of Belarus, convicts cannot receive money transfers from anyone other than close relatives. Parcels are also only possible from relatives. If you want to help, support the family directly if this option is available on the prisoner's page.
